BORDERLANDS THEATER TO PRESENT “OEDIPUS EL REY” BY LUIS ALFARO. FEBRUARY 17-MARCH 6TH. ZUZI’S THEATER,738 N. 5TH AVENUE.
A Chicano recast of Sophocles’ masterpiece by McArthur Foundation Fellow Luis Alfaro. In Alfaro’s reimaging of the Greek tragedy, Oedipus, who’s been raised in a California prison, is carried by “el destino” to an unavoidable appointment down California’s dusty Highway 99 and later into a lonely widow’s bed. Poetic, brutal and raw, Oedipus el Rey is an electrifying and unforgettable myth for the modern age! Directed by Eva Tessler.
“Oedipus” is part of ANCIENT VOICES, MODERN ECHOES: that includes performances, readings, discussions and films presented by Borderlands Theater in association with The University of Arizona College of Humanities, Spanish and Portuguese, and Classics Department.
