The Young Lady's Consent, Christopher O. Kidder

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

This play is a translation and adaptation of a Spanish play originally written in 1806 by Leandro Fernández de Moratín, El sí de las niñas. Because that play was not available to English-speaking actors, I translated the work directly from the original Spanish. The resulting manuscript was not the finished product of this play, however. Through a series of workshops with actors trained in a physical method of theatre I devised in order to modernize classic works to a more modern audience's tastes, the script morphed and grew into the play that follows.

Els Paisatges Europeus De Carles Batlle, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

A l'escena final d'Oasi (2001) de Carles Batlle, en un moment que conjura, curiosament, reminiscències de L'hort dels cirerers d'Anton Txékhov, el personatge d'Abdal·là, un vell home àrab, roman a l'interior de la casa (situada a Ia Catalunya rural) que és a punt de desaparèixer sota les aigües d'un nou pantà. Abdal·là se serveix un got de vi, un gest més europeu que àrab, mentre descriu el joc del guetan. El joc, una invenció de l'autor i de lleugera semblança al joc dels escacs, és una al·legoria dels encreuaments transnacionals, des del sud cap al nord i des del nord …
