Farber: Plays One: Molora; RAM: The Abduction of Sita into Darkness; Mies Julie (Oberon Modern Playwrights) - Softcover
Synopsis
The first collection of plays from award-winning South African playwright Yael Farber, featuring three fresh adaptations of classical theater texts.
Molora - Based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus
In this reworking of Aeschylus’ Oresteia, Klytemnestra and Elektra face one another in a dramatic confrontation. Attempts to come to terms with their violent past echo testimonies delivered in Apartheid’s wake throughout South Africa during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
RAM: The Abduction of Sita into Darkness - Based on The Ramayana by Valmiki
Farber’s potent revisioning of this age-old text is a raw and probing contemporary work which places the loss of the Feminine Divine, and thus our lack of spiritual and moral equilibrium, at its visceral core. This is a Ramayana for a new world.
Mies Julie - Based on Miss Julie by August Strindberg
Transposed to a post-apartheid kitchen a single night, both brutal and tender, unfolds between a black farm-labourer, the daughter of his master and the woman who has raised them both. The visceral struggles of contemporary South Africa are laid bare, as John and Mies Julie spiral in a deadly battle over power, sexuality, mothers and memory.
