 A quick reminder (here in a corner
of the morning, where other Critique
entries are bubbling away) that the 14 February workshop production of
What She Knew is just around the corner. Full information on the
event is now available the International Culture Lab's Avant-Yarde site, as well as the most recent
theatre minima newsletter, which was sent late last
week.
A short description of the
play:
Drawing on the Sophoclean and Senecan versions of the
Oedipus story, George Hunka's What She Knew is a contemporary
meditation on the role Jocasta plays in the tragedy: a woman whose willful
participation in Oedipus' guilt reveals an extraordinary capacity for
erotic and sexual transgression as a means to freedom, as an avenue to
outwit time, place and her own desiring and desirous body. She strides
through centuries, balancing between the ecstasy of loss in anothers body
and the agony of moral criminality.
Gabriele Schafer will be performing the role of Jocasta, and sharing
the afternoon will be new work from Fulya Peker and Irem Calikusu. For
more information, drop me an
email.
