Performance | Late, Late Frogs: Aristophanes on Network Television


Octavio Vourvoulias' adaptation recontextualizes the last section of Aristophanes’ Frogs–the agon sophias between the shades of Aeschylus and Euripides in the Underworld—into a televised debate between two popular musicians of different genres and generations, in the present-day. These artists argue about which one of them pursues a more effective type of social activism in their music. Aeschylus is represented by Andy Page, a classic rocker whose politics are rooted in the folk movement and the protests against the Vietnam War. Embodying Euripides is E-Danger, a younger, nonbinary pop-adjacent artist with a more cynical worldview informed by issues like the financial crisis, social media, and climate change. The debate is moderated by the show’s host, standing in for Dionysus (who is not as unbiased as she should be), backed by the house band, Don Plutón Y Las Ranas. The debate, parallel to its Aristophanic equivalent, satirizes critical culture and genre labels, and interrogates the role of art in political activism. Octavio Vourvoulias is an actor and playwright based in Brooklyn. He graduated with a degree in Classics from Columbia University last year.

Book Club | Hurrican Season by Fernanda Melchor


The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse has the whole village investigating the murder. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters—inners whom most people would write off as irredeemable—forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village.
