Farber

<b>Molora -</b><b>Based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus</b><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/><b>RAM: The Abduction of Sita into Darkness -</b><b>Based on The Ramayana by Valmiki</b><br/><br/> 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.<br/><br/><b>Mies Julie -</b><b>Based on Miss Julie by August Strindberg</b><br/><br/>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. <br/>
