Havana in Hindsight IV by Liz Chalfin

The Criollo Clasico Trio will bring the festive rhythmic excitement, color, and passionate energy of authentic Latin, Spanish, and world music to Marsh Chapel. The members are a Caribbean powerhouse bringing to life the high energy of Puerto Rico Cuatro (Jibaro music), the excitement of Afro-Boricua drums (bomba and plena), and the elegant guitars of Spanish Old San Juan.

This fresh adaptation of a classic Greek drama tells the story of a rebellious young woman, Antigone, who resists a tyrannical political leader, the new king Creon, who happens to be her uncle. Stubborn in her service to invisible truths in the face of a blindingly superficial and overbearing world, Antigone provides religious burial for her brother who fought alongside the invaders of their country. A masterpiece of civil disobedience that explores the struggle of the individual with the laws of the state, our new version features the modern-day setting of a war-torn country, where personal destinies ricochet off of a confusingly fragmented society.  

Do the proud ever find joy?  Is every triumph, even a triumph of the soul, destined to be followed by suffering and heartache? Where is the wisdom in that? “Whose truth matters?”
