ONE WEEKEND ONLY!
Ilya Kaminsky.
The reading is directed by Ulrike von Moltke, with set and puppets designed by Ria Blaas, and is performed by Antoinette Jacobson, Becky Bailey, Don Kollisch, Eve Wening, Frances Mize, Glennis Gold, Jim Schley, Lindsay Putnam, Ria Blaas, Robert O’Leary, and Vajl Adamkowski.
Deaf Republic shows what happens when the town of Vasenka suffers a military occupation and its citizens defy the authorities with ruse and resolve. With powerful reverberations from world events and also from close by, Deaf Republic explores how official brutality can be faced with communal resistance. Though
serious in import, Kaminsky’s text is audaciously upbeat—bawdy, hilarious, and defiant, demonstrating the power of lyric poetry to delight even while expressing outrage.
