SUMMARY:'Women in Parliament'\, A Production by Theatro Technis (based on Aristophanes' 'Assemblywomen')
DESCRIPTION:Theatro Technis presents “Women in Parliament”\, an adaptation of Aristophanes’ hilarious satire\, translated by George Theodorites and directed by George Eugeniou. Premiering on the 4th of June\, this biting show will be running for two weeks\, until the 15th of June. It forms part of a larger cycle of five plays presented at our venue to bring the work of this brilliant ancient Greek playwright into our present context. \nAristophanes’ original piece was written in the 4th century BC\, after Athens was ruined by the Peloponnesian war. It tells the story of Athenian women getting into Parliament disguised as men in order to take the next government’s leadership. The women introduce radical changes in Athenians’ lives by enacting new laws; free love and abolition of private property at the forefront. Aristophanes wanted to send a strong message to the political leaders of his days: enough with the war\, enough with testosterone running the country; let’s rather enjoy a little of loving and tender care. It may be time for us to do the same\, in this current climate of widespread austerity. \nThe particular strength of Aristophanes’ play lies in its stark contrasting of gender roles. He creates hyperbolic situations where women apply their domestic skills to political goals\, using house management capacities for the benefit of all. But even when dressed as men\, they never stop being thoroughly feminine and humane in their policies. Can we say the same of the “iron ladies” of our present times – Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel to name a few? \nBut obscure dark ages always reveal how ironic our lives can be. Here the best chances for a laugh are to be found\, as crude and genuine as life itself. Aristophanes maintains this dialectic comic spirit and makes it a real protagonist of his play. And so does Theatro Technis. \nTheatro Technis\n26 Crowndale Road (Camden Town)\nNW TT London\n0207 387 6617\ninfo@theatrotechnis.com \n“Theatro Technis is neither commercial nor subsidised. None of our actors nor participants are paid\, they all offer their talent and their time for free. We believe in the creativity spirit which cannot be sold.”

It is the result of close collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendency of Naples and Pompeii\, will bring together over 250 fascinating objects\, both recent discoveries and celebrated finds from earlier excavations. Many of these objects have never before been seen outside Italy. The exhibition will have a unique focus\, looking at the Roman home and the people who lived in these ill-fated cities. \nNeil MacGregor\, director of the British Museum said “This will be a major exhibition for the British Museum in 2013\, made possible through collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendency of Naples and Pompeii which has meant extremely generous loans of precious objects from their collections\, some that have never travelled before. I am delighted that Goldman Sachs is sponsoring this important exhibition and am extremely grateful to them for their support.” \n“It is a privilege to be partnering with the British Museum for this incredibly exciting exhibition\, which offers a fascinating insight into daily life at the heart of the Roman Empire”\, said Richard Gnodde\, Co Chief executive of Goldman Sachs International. “We recognize the importance of supporting cultural platforms such as this and we are delighted to offer our support to help bring this unique experience to London.” \nPompeii and Herculaneum\, two cities on the Bay of Naples in southern Italy\, were buried by a catastrophic volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in just 24 hours in AD 79. This event ended the life of the cities but at the same time preserved them until rediscovery by archaeologists nearly 1700 years later. The excavation of these cities has given us unparallelled insight into Roman life. \nOwing to their different locations Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried in different ways and this has affected the preservation of materials at each site. Herculaneum was a small seaside town whereas Pompeii was the industrial hub of the region. Work continues at both sites and recent excavations at Herculaneum have uncovered beautiful and fascinating artefacts. These include treasures many of which will be displayed to the public for the first time\, such as finely sculpted marble reliefs\, intricately carved ivory panels and fascinating objects found in one of the main drains of the city. \nThe exhibition will give visitors a taste of the daily life of the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum\, from the bustling street to the family home. The domestic space is the essential context for people’s lives\, and allows us to get closer to the Romans themselves. This exhibition will explore the lives of individuals in Roman society\, not the classic figures of films and television\, such as emperors\, gladiators and legionaries\, but businessmen\, powerful women\, freed slaves and children. One stunning example of this material is a beautiful wall painting from Pompeii showing the baker Terentius Neo and his wife\, holding writing materials showing they are literate and cultured. Importantly their pose and presentation suggests they are equal partners\, in business and in life. \nThe emphasis on a domestic context also helps transform museum artefacts into everyday possessions. Six pieces of wooden furniture will be lent from Herculaneum in an unprecedented loan by the Archaeological Superintendency of Napels and Pompeii. These items were carbonized by the high temperatures of the ash that engulfed the city and are extremely rare finds that would not have survived at Pompeii – showing the importance of combining evidence from the two cities. The furniture includes a linen chest\, an inlaid stool and even a garden bench. Perhaps the most astonishing and moving piece is a baby’s crib that still rocks on its curved runners. \nThe exhibition will include casts from in and around Pompeii of some of the victims of the eruption. A family of two adults and their two children are huddled together\, just as in their last moments under the stairs of their villa. The most famous of the casts on display is of a dog\, fixed forever at the moment of its death as the volcano submerged the cities. \nSponsored by Goldman Sachs \nIn collaboration with Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei \n\nPortrait of baker Terentius Neo and his wife.

SUMMARY:kaloi k'agathoi's Medea
DESCRIPTION:There will be a performance by kaloi k’agathoi at St Edward’s School\, Cheltenham\, of Medea\, Wicked with of the East\, on Friday 8th March at 7.30 p.m.  Commissioned for last year’s Three Choirs event in Hereford\, the production features a first act ‘prequel’\, which sets the background to the tragedy\, making it equally suitable for newcomers to the story and those studying it as a set text.  The second half follows Euripides\, but is devised by the cast and crew rather than scripted\, giving opportunity for audience interaction and didactic improvization as inspired. \nOriginal music composed and played by Liam Dunachie.  Tickets are £6\, bookings through either Jodie Mallet (Head of Classics\, St. Edward’s) on jodiem7@msn.com\, or Siobhan de Souza (kaloi k’agathoi) on sgndes@herefordcs.com.

SUMMARY:The Afterlife of Ovid: A Colloquium (7-8 March)
DESCRIPTION:“Sponsored by the Princeton Global Collaborative Network Fund on Postclassicisms \nIt is by now a critical commonplace to observe that the last 30 years have seen a dramatic reversal in Ovid’s critical fortunes. From a maligned harbinger of Silver Latin\, Ovid has moved to the centre of Latin literary criticism and classical reception studies. This critical reappraisal can\, of course\, be understood as a reversion to a periodic historical norm\, with Ovid returning to the high esteem in which he was held for much of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. At the same time\, the recent Ovidian revival seems to follow\, almost inevitably\, from contemporary cultural conditions: Ovid’s irony and wit\, the kaleidoscopically intertextual texture of his poetry. his fascination with change\, and his continual juxtapositions of sex and politics are all highly congenial to the interests and aesthetics of modern and postmodern literary and intellectual culture. The turn of the twenty-first century\, then\, has not only been a good moment for Ovid\, but also a very Ovidian moment. \nBut what does it mean to describe a period\, genre or work as Ovidian? This one-day graduate colloquium – a pendant to the Warburg Institute and Institute for Classical Study’s The Afterlife of Ovid (http://warburg.sas.ac.uk/events/colloquia/afterlife-of-ovid/)– aims to bring together graduate students working on Ovid and his reception to explore and discuss the nature and boundaries of the Ovidian. Do different readers of Ovid invariably create their own versions of the poet\, or can the Ovidian be understood as a transhistorical aesthetic category? Do literary and critical contexts in which Ovid holds a prominent position – including\, but not limited to\, the present moment\, late 16th century England\, and the latter half of the Augustan principate – share distinguishing cultural and aesthetic conditions? What are the relations between the Ovidian\, the Augustan\, the Classical? \nFor further information\, please contact admeatempora@gmail.com \nOrganized by Leon Grek (Princeton)\, Aaron Kachuck (Princeton) and Daisy Dunn (UCL)”
