This free programme of screenings, co-curated by experienced and emergent scholars, aims to encourage reflection on all forms of interaction between antiquity and modernity as well as between screen and performance. This term's theme is 'the many faces of Oedipus'. Each screening will have a short introduction and will conclude with a post-screening discussion. All screenings will be held in the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building, St Hilda's College.
Yukio Ninagawa's Oedipus Rex and William Maranda's Raja Edepus
Join us for a screening of selected clips from recordings of two stage adaptations, Yukio Ninagawa's 2002 masterpiece, Oidipusu-oh, a Japanese Oedipus Rex, and Raja Edepus, a 2006 Balinese rendering of Sophocles' tragedy by William Maranda, with introduction and post-screening discussion led by Sarah Marshall (St Hugh's College, Oxford) and Simona Thompson (University College, Oxford).
Screenings are free and open to all, but please book your seat via Eventbrite.
