THE DANUBE by Maria Irene Fornes |

1997-1998 1999 2000 2001 2003 |
SPRING 1999 The Danube concerns an American who must choose between romance and career and decide whether to be an expatriate in Eastern Europe on the eve of World War II. Many scenes are begun by a language instruction tape, which seems to guide the characters' dialogue subconsciously. Near the end of the drama, actors replay a scene by manipulating puppet replicas of themselves. Fornes' approach highlights the extent to which we control, or are controlled by, our technologies and social conventions. |
