This performance is part of the Gerald W. Lynch Theater's Fall 2009 season of The Art of Justice Series, which integrates the performing arts and issues on justice. This season the Gerald W. Lynch Theater launches a new Justice Theatre Festival, which showcases new plays that address themes of justice. The theme for Fall 2009 is FLESH & BLOOD: Justice and the Family.
"Il Furioso" is a dual-language adaptation of Aeschylus' "Eumenides." It uses drumming, dance and Aeschylus' classical text, with a new bilingual translation spoken in English and Spanish, to dig up the roots of justice, from bloody revenge to fair trail in multi-tribal Athens.
Tickets are $10 ($5 for CUNY students), and can be purchased by calling John Jay's Communication and Theater Arts department at 212-237-8363. For more information, visit www.jjay.cuny.edu/theater.php.
