Tuesday, November 27, 2012 A Bard Ancient Studies Symposium Event
Reem-Kayden Center Bito Auditorium (RKC 103) Kassandra:a presentation and discussion with Jean Wagner Bard College artist-in-residence Jean Wagner has recently written and directed a stage adaptation of the novel Kassandra by the East German writer Christa Wolf. Wagner, together with actors involved in the project, will present scenes from the performance (both live and on video) and will discuss this ambitious and complex adaptation of a work that is itself a radical re-imagining of the story—recounted by Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Virgil, and others—of the Trojan princess who isblessed and cursed with the ability to see what others can’t.(Refreshments served!) |
