Paperback. Condición: New. An updated version of The Merchant of Venice that speaks to our contemporary reckoning with racism and injustice.    Elise Thoron's translation of Shakespeare's searing The Merchant of Venice cuts straight to the heart of today's fraught issues of social justice and systemic racism. Thoron's clear, compelling contemporary verse translation retains the power of the original iambic pentameter while allowing readers and audiences to fully comprehend and directly experience the brutal dilemmas of Shakespeare's Venice, where prejudice and privilege reign unchallenged. As the author of three acclaimed music-theater works on the Jewish experience and informed by her work directing cross-cultural projects in locations as different as Russia, Japan, Cuba, and New York City, Thoron brings to her Merchant an immediacy that speaks directly to the present reckoning with race in America.     This translation was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.…

softcover. 10 x 7 in. softcover. 232 pages, 210 images in full color. This book chronicles the beautiful and moving story of Recycling: Washi Tales, a theatrical performance first conceived in 2009 by American theater maker, Elise Thoron, and Japanese paper artist, Ibe Kyoko. Inspired by washi (Japanese handmade paper), the authors set out on an ongoing exploration of its dynamic presence and harmonious spirit in theater. Working with a company of Japanese traditional performers and an American storyteller, Recycling: Washi Tales brings to the stage four folk tales centering around washi from different periods of Japanese history. Three Japanese musical traditions are also represented: Noh drum, biwa, and shomyo (Buddhist sutra singing). Performances of Recycling: Washi Tales have delighted audiences across the U.S.A. and Japan, captivated by Ibes dazzling paper art and costumes, the on-stage papermaking, and the artistry of each of the company performers. The Way of Washi Tales tells the story of a collaboration across cultures, including how washi and the rich history of the craft informed the performances of the theater artists, while their ongoing work together as a company resulted in deep personal bonds and experiences. Through backstage scenes and over two hundred photographs, the book explores the fascinating process of long-term cultural exchange, including the complex challenges of bilingual performance and the rewards of building a "washi family." In personal essays, Ibe and Thoron reflect on how profoundly a simple natural material " washi " has shaped Japanese culture and influenced the trajectory of their lives. Recently, the authors embarked on a new washi adventure with Dwayne Betts, author of Felon: Poems (2019) and a 2021 MacArthur Fellow. Betts new solo performance, Felon: An American Washi Tale is a compelling story about the role that books and papermaking played in his life during and after incarceration. The sets for this new performance were created by Ibe from "prison" paper that Dwayne made from the clothing of his friends still serving time; directed by Thoron, Betts performs in prisons and theaters across the U.S.A. Appendix A reproduces the script for Recycling: Washi Tales, and Appendix B is Claire Cuccios translation of Najio Gawa by Mizukami Tsutomu, a source for one of the Washi Tales. A glossary and bibliography follow. Papermaking (ilustrador).…
