Come see the Tantalids 4/13-14! I’ve been working with @theoctopiehole and Jeannette Chien on this mash-up of the Agamemnon and Thyestes! (poster designed by me)
working with leslyn hall this school year to design a quilt for agamemnon’s homecoming has been a dream. we’d been trying to figure out how to translate the murex dyes into contemporary textile standards and came up with a peacock tail quilt pattern (plus the Hera/Cly parallel)
so fucking glad that i never have to do this ceremony again, but eternally grateful that my final time was with such fantastic humans: Sunshine Alvarez de Silva and Abi Mason (and of course, Ana Maria Ribero with us in spirit from Brazil)
Extremely proud of the UVM students for being the first Vermont campus to establish an encampment, particularly after three Palestinian students from Brown were shot here while wearing keffiyehs back in November.
Incredible video from @HarvardPSC
Just yesterday, Harvard University placed the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) under suspension. Less than 24 hours later, students launched a Gaza solidarity encampment.
THE MORE THEY TRY TO SILENCE US THE LOUDER WE WILL BE
Today at 7 pm, students from three Boston-area schools—MIT, Emerson, and Tufts—launched encampments to demand that their instituons cut ties from genocide
WE ARE MOBILIZED, UNIFIED, AND DETERMINED. WE WILL SEIZE CONTROL OF OUR CAMPUSES UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE!
After more than 100 students from Barnard College and Columbia University were arrested at an encampment calling for the school to divest from Israel amid the country's deadly assault on Gaza, similar encampments have begun across the United States.
Limitless love to my chorus and all of the endless lyrical jokes that we made trying to memorize these songs, it was truly such an honor to compose for you all. You'll always be my dear oldheads! From L-R, Drew McCormick, Alexis Lindsay, Will Todt, Tina Rodina & Gideon Lieberman.
Tantalids Stasimon 2:
[strophe] 🎶Who could think up such a name
For a woman ripe to blame
By old Zeus we make this claim (and the Twain!)
Sing along to our refrain
For that bitch who's on our brain:
Helen, the hell to ships and men
Helen, the hell leaves cities broken...🎶
@BelovedOfOizys I said that but also immediately started googling, and I found a youtube video of one scene and a link to purchase a video on demand! https://t.co/EeooXpFXFI https://t.co/WDEpFre7u1
🎶Sing now in Hades
Underground ladies
Sword-sharpened paid fees
From that sad
limp
sack
of my husband 🎶
Alex Seiler (who’s heading off to @ClassicsAtUCLA this fall) has been utterly killing it as Clytemnestra (which has long been one of their dream roles) 🦚🗡🩸
Gearing up for our final runs before we open tomorrow afternoon--come see @ClassicsUvm's production of "Tantalids" directed by @entropyre, produced by @abidrmason, with the musical design by yours truly. Sat 2pm/7pm, Sun 2pm @ Main Street Landing
We're ramping up at @ClassicsUvm for our spring horrorshow of Tantalids (trans. @entropyre@abidrmason & myself). As thousands flood into Vermont this weekend for the eclipse on Monday, stick around til next weekend to see the heavens reverse over the House of Atreus!
