"The Green Bird," an 18th-century comedy by Carlo Gozzi and "The Caucasian Chalk Circle," a 20th-century drama by Bertolt Brecht Directed by professor Elizabeth Carlin Metz, "The Green Bird" is in the tradition of "commedia dell'arte," a genre of sketch-based comedy that originated in Italy in the 1500s. First performed in 1765, it is a fairy tale about two siblings who set out on a journey to learn the truth about themselves, after they discover that the people who cared for them as children were not their biological parents. "The Caucasian Chalk Circle," directed by assistant professor Jeff Grace, was written in 1944 by a German playwright, Bertolt Brecht, who was living in the United States at the time. Using the structure of a play-within-a-play, Brecht tells two stories- a poor working woman who rescues an abandoned child, and an argument over land between two groups of neighbors in the former Soviet Union near the end of World War II. |
