Julia

200 Almont Street, Mattapan MA

Description

"A stunning multimedia riff on the Swedish playwright's combustible tale. PASSIONATE ACTING. SO AUTHENTIC. STUNNING STAGING." - LA Times The Strindberg classic Miss Julie is audaciously revised in this hypnotic production from internationally praised Brazilian theatremaker Christiane Jatahy. In Julia, the story unfolds before a live audience while a roaming camera operator captures close-ups and action that otherwise might go unexamined. Perspectives are blurred, creating unusual and mesmerizing encounters between actors, technicians and the audience. As a moment of lust spirals out of control, a hot spotlight illuminates the dangerous power dynamics of race, gender, and class. Audiences will find themselves riveted, but also wondering, "Should I be watching all of this?" For tickets, visit www.
