Recorded October 14, 2005
Below is the original description of the event.
On June 8, 2004 Shakespeare silenced the guns in the no-man’s land separating two warring drug gangs in Rio de Janeiro . This lecture looks at a production of “ Antony and Cleopatra” produced in association with the Cultural Group Afroreggae on the frontier between two favelas. Exploring the divided nature of the divided city, Paul Heritage will place the performance of Shakespeare within the context of the gang culture that dominates the borderlands of Rio de Janeiro.
