(r)evolution (Flagstories and other personal histories)
Performative lecture presented by RCINY in the frame of Performing Revolution
Playwright Saviana Stanescu participated in the Romanian revolution as a college student in 1989. In this autobiographical performative lecture, she explores both her youth in Romania and immigrant experience in New York through the lens of a personal dichotomy between East and West and an ongoing negotiation between the old and new set of values.
(r)Evolution was first developed in March 2009 as a commission for the Cultural Conversations Festival at Penn State University, then presented in May 2009 at the prestigious Camden's Roundhouse in London as part of the Accidental Festival of Central School of Speech&Drama, and in June 2009 at Pavilion Unicredit in Bucharest, Romania.
