Dear all,

GRITA! (Greeks & Romans in the Americas) invites you to its inaugural event on April 24th, celebrating the vibrant interaction between the ancient world and modern Latin American and Caribbean theater. Please join us for a staged reading of Virgilio Piñera’s Electra Garrigó (1948), adapted and directed by Cuban director Leyma López in a new English translation by Kate Eaton, followed by a discussion moderated by professor Rosa Andújar.

Electra Garrigó is a foundational work of twentieth‑century Cuban drama and a powerful example of how ancient Greek drama has been transformed to speak to the sociopolitical realities of Latin America.

Friday, Apr 24 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm 
LeFrak Theatre at Barnard College - Columbia University
