Druid Ireland; The Walworth Force

Nov 11-15:

At 11 a.m. in a grotty London flat, Dinny and his two adult sons begin their daily routine. Iron the dress. Get the roast chicken. Brush the wigs. Start the show. Then, over the course of two hours, kill off five people, as usual. This tragedy wrapped in farce upends all cozy, homespun Irish-immigrant tales of the old country. Playwright Enda Walsh delves unsparingly into why Dinny left Ireland, why his sons don’t leave him, and the story that has entrapped them all.

RAMAYANA: AN INDIAN EPIC

November 6, 2009 – November 8, 2009

RAMAYANA: AN INDIAN EPIC

Balinese music and dance by Gamelan Burat Wangi
Co-presented with The Music Circle
An ensemble of 25 gamelan players and 14 dancers enacts an exquisite Balinese adaptation of the Ramayana, the ancient Hindu epic brought to Bali from India more than a millennium ago. Directed and choreographed by the distinguished duo of I Nyoman Wenten and Nanik Wenten, this dance drama of lust and abduction, of war and faith, is filled with characters who look like birds, monkeys and warriors but who may turn out to be kings and gods. Among the many distinctive refinements of the Balinese Ramayana are the electrifying dances of Hanoman, the monkey general who helps Rama rescue Sita from the clutches of Rahwana. The production features three special guest artists from Bali: drummer I Wayan Budha and dancers I Made Dwi Putra Yoga as Rama, and Anak Agung Gede Rahma Putra, as Hanoman. With a pre-show presentation on the aesthetics of Hindu-Balinese performing arts by ethnomusicologist Sue Carole DeVale.

Nov. 3-7:

To venture into the emotional and physical jungle of adolescence, the Ontroerend Goed performance group has enlisted 13 teenage guides who are going to tell it like it is, like it or not. This completely uncompromising look at the raw urges and untamed thoughts rattling around in semi-adult bodies shocked and charmed audiences across Europe last year. Hilarious, disturbing and strangely life-affirming, “Once and For All We’re Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up and Listen” pulls down all the barriers. You’ll never look at a teenager the same way again.
