Rep and Roust Theatre Company To Present
The World
Premiere Of
New Moon Rep and Roust Theatre Company will present the world premiere of
I KREON, a contemporary verse adaptation by Aole T. Miller of the
Sophocles classic drama Antigone. Directed by Aole T. Miller, I KREON
will begin performances on November 8, with the official opening scheduled
for November 11. Performances will be at Walkerspace (46 Walker Street) in
TriBeCa, and will continue through December 1.
I KREON focuses on Kreon's point of view.
How does the leader of a shattered nation, a nation who's Towers have fallen,
begin the process of rebuilding and reuniting that nation? How does he best
honor the dead? What sacrifice is he willing to make to secure this rebuilt
nation?
Dealing with the issue of being an American today, I KREON is set
in the post-apocalyptic world of New Thebes and asks the poignant question,
''Can a modern ruler rebuilding a nation destroyed by terrorism be both a
benevolent 'father' and an officer of the state?'' It is a story of the
struggle for love and community obligation, within a world of deception and
fear. Written in verse with a contemporary spin, I KREON challenges all
who choose to blame others for the state of society. I KREON questions
the role of the community and the collective responsibility of its individuals.
The cast for I KREON will be Claire Siebers, James Luse, Maggie
Surovell, Max Arnaud, David Beck, Ian Eaton, Rebecca Hackett, Paul Harkins,
Rafael Jordan and Ian Lowe.
Under the dynamic leadership of Artistic Director Aole T. Miller, the
Brooklyn based New Moon Repertory Theatre Company brings unique perspectives
and theatrical innovations to both New York City and international audiences.
The company produces adaptations of classical, contemporary, and original plays
that address the deep conflicts of archetypal characters. This is accomplished
through their signature process of mask work, voice and movement techniques
developed and refined over the past 20 years.
Roust Theatre Company is dedicated to radical and epoch-making theatre.
The company aims to challenge and inspire its audience, and encourage the
questioning of the world around us. Roust Theatre Company believes that theatre
is much more than entertainment, it has the power to make a difference in the
world – www.RoustTC.com
