Lecture: “Viewing Ariadne: From Ekphrasis to Wall Painting in the Roman World” Abstract: The talk will look at the way both ekphrasis and images develop the notion of points of view within a narrative or story or picture, playing on competing and sometimes contradictory ways of seeing an event. This in turn reflects on the way such images (or images as described by texts) were themselves viewed. |

Theater: Iphigenia and Other Daughters, an adaptation of the Oresteia by Ellen McLaughlin; directed by Michael Perlman From the press release: “Years ago, the Greeks told stories of war: the murders, the fathers who sacrificed, the sons who avenged deaths, and the women who waited for them. Iphigenia and Other Daughters is Ellen McLaughlin’s fascinating retelling of these stories. With biting and lyrical dialogue, set in a timeless, war-torn home, this play violently and tenderly explores these women: the daughters sacrificed, the mothers left childless, and the others left pondering their places in a man's world of war, a world destined to become his story.” | |
