Sunday, October 22, 2023 The Theater & Performance Program Presents: Migration
And other new and classic workFisher Center, LUMA Theater 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 About classic Japanese Noh and Kyogen that provided inspiration for Migration Noh and Kyogen trace their history back over six hundred years in Japan. Noh is a highly refined, richly symbolic, and beautifully stylized dance-drama written in lyric poetry. It is tragic, deeply philosophical and concerned with spiritual beliefs and long considered an erudite art form. On the other hand, Kyogen addresses such worldly concerns as greed, vanity, and the pleasures of outwitting someone with satirical humor. They are both performed with stylized speech particular to each genre. In Noh the instrumental ensemble and its music (hayashi) accompany singing, dances, and some character entrances and exits. It is comprised of the nohkan (noh flute), the otsuzumi (big hip drum) and kotsuzumi (small shoulder drum). About half of the current Noh repertoire includes a taiko (stick drum). Between percussion strokes the drummers perform highly expressive vocal calls (kakegoe), which add an original vocal dimension. Migration 1890. Sakhalin Island, a penal colony island west of Siberia. Akebono and Chekhov meet. Akebono is a Japanese woman of eighteen. Chekhov is thirty. As is often the case in Noh, Migration has little plot, other than the central character’s spiritual journey. Akebono wants to have tea with Chekhov and talk about living and writing. At the beginning, she doesn’t know that she is a ghost. The play is about Akebono becoming conscious of her own death.

Friday, February 24, 2023 – Sunday, February 26, 2023 Hippolytos by Euripides
A New Translation by Anne CarsonFisher Center, LUMA Theater 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm EST/GMT-5 Directed by Mikhaela Mahony Brendan Boston, Set and Scenic Designer Sarah Abigail Hoke-Brady, Lighting Designer Espii Studios LLC, Espii Proctor , Sound Designer Cristina Ramos, Intimacy Designer Avery Reed, Costume Designer Laura Valenti, Associate Set Designer "Phaedra is in love with Hippolytos — Hippolytos is her step-son. Hippolytos is in love with purity — obsessed with chastity, virginity. He worships Artemis and neglects Aphrodite. So Aphrodite takes her revenge, and brings Hippolytos and his rigid world of patriarchal binaries to its knees. As Phaedra gets swept along, a pawn in Aphrodite's scheme, she wrestles with her body, her place in the world — and how to survive as a woman in a society built on subjugation. With dark psychological acuity, Hippolytos unflinchingly delves into the complexities of transgression, desire, shame, family, betrayal, revenge, and the absolute horror of being in love." |
