Stay tuned for details on our 2007-2008 Season!
ON THE GREEKS TARGET MARGIN THEATER Season of Indirect Discourse 2006-2007
This season Target Margin Theater offers a museum-worthy selection of the rich and strange treasure that is classical Greek literature. No other catalogue of work so completely marries burning personal passion with civic politics. The Greeks remain stubbornly alien to us, though we insist on claiming their mantle. These ancient texts have never been more relevant. How can we capture their elusive power? Via drama, philosophy, and scholarship, Target Margin’s curatorial team has assembled a blockbuster exhibition. Please join us this season as we continue restoring the classics for today. On Duty As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash Euripides’ Suppliants (c. 420-414 BCE)
Mythic and local, sweeping and intimate, As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash epitomizes the tragedy of the aftermath of war. After the physical combat has stopped, what responsibilities do we hold towards the defeated? How do we not only build a better body politic, but in doing so, a better world community? January 2007 @ The Ohio Theatre
On Love Plato’s Symposium (c. 360 BCE)
Throw a dinner party for antiquity's greatest and wittiest thinkers with a never-ending supply of really good wine, and you’re bound to be in for quite an evening. Full of lust and poetry, fighting and camaraderie, rhetoric and desire, Dinner Party asks us how we love and what we think love is. June 2007 @ The Kitchen
On Scholarship Aristotle’s Poetics (c. 350 BCE) written and performed by David Greenspan
A passionate student's love-letter and farewell to his teacher, The Argument reminds us of the personal pathos that binds us to the Greeks, and fires us to capture that chimera, art. Based on both the Poetics and the essays of Gerald F. Else, this new one-man play written and performed by the virtuosic David Greenspan explores the non-artist’s take on categorizing, dissecting, and defining art for the rest of us. June 2007 @ The Kitchen
On the Side A series of events, readings, and performances in response to Hellenic drama and philosophy. Our lab will feature a new adaptation of Sophocles’ The Women of Trachis (c. 431 – 419 BCE), directed by Alice Reagan, recipient of a Princess Grace Award and TMT Artistic Associate for the 06-07 Season. January 2007 @ The Ohio Theatre and elsewhere |
