Council on the
Arts
A multi media creation directed by Rene Migliaccio.
With: Patricia Becker
Collages by: India Evans
Fragments is a multi-media theatre-dance production which examines women's objectifications in patriarchal social conditions. This concept is experienced through deconstructed monologues of female characters: Klytemnestra (Aeschylus), Medea (Euripides), Lady Macbeth (Shakespeare), and Miss Julie (Strindberg).
"Your adaptation and direction of "Fragments" is singular and outstanding. Your talents as a creative force in the theater are truly impressive. The media you created is stunning."
- Bob McGrath, Artistic Director of Ridge Theater
The monologues are interspersed with the cultural, historical, social and psychological perceptions of reality and truth as it relates to the feminine entity, with texts by authors such as: Carol Gilligan, Kate Millet, Helene Foley, Sue Allison, Kaja Silverman, and Gerda Lerner.
A montage of collages by India Evans expresses the feminine in its most personal experience.
