The waters are rising around Jeune Terre, Louisiana, and the land is slipping away. As scientists and state administrators bargain over the town's future, a theatre troupe arrives to tell an old story in a new way, just in time for a quickly approaching storm. This inventive new play with songs explores what it means to live on the edge of invisibility in a time of atmospheric change.

Milbank Hall, Room 223

Centering on the final days of the life of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, Friedrich Schiller’s intense psychological study is focused on the intersection of romantic, political, and religious betrayal, revealing vivid tension between the costs of moral righteousness and those of political expediency. Gisela Cardenas, who directed Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s brilliant Katzelmacher, returns to campus to direct this evocatively modern play.

Written to open the Field Day Theatre Company in Derry, Northern Ireland, Translations critically explores how a colonial empire rewrites the physical, social, and cultural landscape in the language of power, simultaneously erasing the history of the people it subjects to rule. Sharon Fogarty, director, and Hana Worthen, dramaturg, whose last production at Barnard was Faust 2.0, collaborate on this modern historical parable of the brutality of rule.
