LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — SUNY Sullivan is embarking on producing theater residencies that support new work and visions in theater. In Strange Company is re-staging and reimagining their U.S. premiere of Korean playwright Oh Tae-sok’s play “Africa,” translated by Mi-Sun Choi and adapted by SUNY Sullivan assistant professor Jessica Barkl.
Oh’s early 1980s play examines how Korea goes from seeming innocence to painful awareness of globalization and terrorism. Choi and Barkl’s adaptation explores this same journey of awareness from an American point-of-view.
The residency is taking place on the SUNY Sullivan campus until August 16. Performances began last weekend, and continue at 8 p.m. on Thursday August 13, Friday August 14, and Saturday August 15, with the final performance at 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 16. Talkbacks will accompany every performance, and the admission fee is donation only.
For more information, contact Professor Barkl at jbarkl@sunysullivan.edu or 505/270-6220; or visit sunysullivan.edu/events.
