Williams and MCLA Presents "Living In Exile"
Jon Lipsky’s “Living in Exile,” directed by Christopher McElroen and featuring Alfred Preisser, is a two-character retelling of Homer’s “Iliad.” The piece, performed in the setting of a private American living room, expresses the costs of prolonged warfare, imperialist culture shock and the citizen-as-spectator.
“Living in Exile” will be presented in the Greylock Makepeace Room on the Williams campus on April 10 and 12 at 8 p.m. and on April 11 at 6 and 9 p.m.
The production will move to 107 Main St. in downtown North Adams as part of the MCLA Presents! performance series on April 13 at 8 p.m., April 14 at 3 and 8 p.m., and April 15 at 5 p.m.
