| Keynote Address and Reception with Colleen Murphy Martha Cohen Theatre 4:30 pm Howard Barker calls tragedy “the most illegitimate of all art forms, the most devastating to social order…the darkest and yet simultaneously the most life-affirming, for precisely by standing so close to the rim of the abyss it delivers expression to the inexpressible, and stages emotions the so-called open society finds it almost impossible to contemplate.” Using perspectives from Euripedes to George Steiner, as well as examples from her own work, Colleen Murphy discusses tragedy in the 21st century. | |
