'Leaves' imagines America's most famous poet, Walt Whitman, transported to the 21st century with a mission: to proudly come out as a gay man (something he couldn't do in his own time without dire consequences) and reclaim and recontextualize his work through a queer lens. As he has often done throughout his storied career, Scully's innovative staging utilizes spoken word, video projection, and dance to dynamic effect--enhancing the theatrical experience by creatively injecting historical context and emotional depth to Whitman's life and work-while the filmmakers utilize multiple cameras and fluid editing to create almost balletic visuals that bring audiences onto the stage.
