One woman's odyssey through a European landscape peopled with characters who engage, enrage, defy and affirm stereotypes in a terrifying way. Following the Feb. 7 performance, there will be a talk given by Linda Chapman, associate artistic director of New York Theatre Workshop, who has served as guest dramaturg for the festival. Nine Come by Elana Greenfield. Directed by Ivan Talijanzic, graduate of Columbia's graduate program. In a world broken by war, the only things that remain are broken stories.
Worlds converge and Nine Come, the bar, is hopping.
Time goes backward. Anna opens The Book. A Song Cycle by Jennifer Johung. Directed by Vanessa Gilbert, associate artistic director of Perishable Theatre in Providence. Based on Japanese Bunraku puppet theater, a song cycle follows a master puppeteer as he rehearses with his company and deals with unbidden memories.
