Faust 2.0

After Goethe

Thursday, October 23, 2014 at 8 PM
Friday, October 24, 2014 at 8 PM
Saturday, October 25, 2014 at 3 PM and 8 PM
Sunday, October 26, 2014 at 1 PM

While Goethe’s massive original places Faust at the center of the philosophical, social, and political questions of his era, questions still evocative in the twenty-first century, it also figures “women” into the gendered field of Enlightenment rationality, the field of (white, European, propertied) humanist “Man.” This adaptation inquires into the gender dynamics of Goethe’s work, imagining a counter voice to his “eternal feminine,” a voice freeing itself from a logic of extrinsic desire.

Faust 2.0 is a co-production with the experimental theatre company Mabou Mines.

The Seagull

By Anton Chekhov
Translated by Paul Schmidt
Directed by David Paul

Thursday, November 20, 2014 at 8 PM
Friday, November 21, 2014 at 8 PM
Saturday, November 22, 2014 at 3 PM and 8 PM

Famous as the inaugurating success of Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, Anton Chekhov's The Seagull undertakes a pinpoint anatomy of the brutality of artistic ambition, and a remarkably sensitive and self-reflexive examination of the "realistic" milieu of which Chekhov was an acknowledged master.
