WeLCOMe! Welcome! Welcome!

It has been quite a year since we last gathered. A year ago, we never could have imagined the jaw-dropping events that are now a regular part of our everyday lives.

Yet here we are, doing what humankind has done for all of its history, gathering together in celebration. Human beings need each other. Our annual gathering of hearts and minds from around our region and around the world matters now more than ever as we seek understanding and meaning, not to mention the chance to celebrate, enjoy and discover. Global Identities/Local Heroes is a phrase that offers a context for the performances, discussions and events that make up this year’s Festival. It’s about the personal: Who are we? How do we live? So the Festival this year is especially for you. enjoy it. Savor it. Share it. Festively yours,

First LoveGArE st. lAZArE plAYErs irElANd

One of Samuel Beckett’s early novellas, First Love contains much of his distinctive black humor and a plot that is regarded as a masterpiece of Beckettian perversity. A young man, expelled

Beckett interpreter, Conor Lovett’s one-man performance of First Love, directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett, has mesmerized audiences around the world.

IvanovkAtoNA JóZsEF tHEAtrE coMpANY

Set in 1960’s rural Hungary, the Katona József Theatre Company’s approach to Anton Chekhov’s Ivanov is intellectual, non-traditional, and fresh, layering comedy, tragedy,

and the spectrum of emotions within. Often considered the “Russian Hamlet,” Ivanov is a stirring drama that explores the human response to moral, economic, and political upheaval and

continues to resonate with contemporary audiences over a century after the play’s first production.

The Good Dance—dakar/brooklyn is the latest project of Brooklyn-based Reggie Wilson and Congolese choreographer Andréya Ouamba, based in Dakar, Senegal. A contemporary performance work, The Good Dance brings

together the rhythms of African, Caribbean and African-American dance to create a theatrical world that passionately reflects upon the connections, both intimate and metaphoric, of the cultures of the Congo River and

the Mississippi River, and investigates the questions and assumptions of innovation and abstraction. These are preview performances before the world premiere this fall.
