CIRPA aims to review the ‘masks’ of mythical and historical women in theatre

1955-2014

Dear ones,

It is with passionate sadness that I must tell you of Margaret Cameron's gentle passing on Monday 20 October at 9pm.

Some of you may already be aware that the cancer she beat last year returned in August and was very aggressive. Over the past three months she has been cared for variously by her artist family and her biological family - in the last month particularly by her son Yani, in whose arms she died.

"Where am I when I am two?"

 

a new play by Laura Pedersen directed by Ludovica-Villar Hauser

The Kilgannons are a typical Irish family in 1974 Buffalo. However, the world is changing fast, the generation gap is widening, and the future is up for grabs. Will the Kilgannons find the serenity to accept the things they cannot change and the wisdom to know that what needs changing most is sitting around the dinner table?

Bright Shadow is inspired by the true story of Claire Pradier, daughter of Juliette Drouet and the sculptor James Pradier.
In this piece Claire Heggen takes inspiration from poems by Victor Hugo about her in his Contemplations, and in dialogue with Schubert’s string quartet Death and the Maiden.
Using a puppet as a go-between, animating the inanimate, Claire Heggen makes the uncertain figure of an angel appear and disappear, calling up the ghostly whiteness of a being who disappeared too soon.
