Casting has been announced for the Wooster Group’s American premiere of La Didone, a production of Francesco Cavalli’s Baroque opera, to play St. Ann’s Warehouse, March 17-April 26. Elizabeth LeCompte will direct, with music direction by Bruce Odland.
The production will incorporate elements of Italian director Mario Bava¹s 1965 sci-fi cult film, Terrore nello spazio. It aims to present a musical symbiosis of camp and classicism that explores both the power of erotic passion and the tenacity of human nature in the face of annihilation.
The cast will feature Hai-Ting Chinn, Andrew Nolen, Kamala Sankaram, and John Young, along with Wooster Group veterans Ari Fliakos, Scott Shepherd, Kate Valk, and Judson Williams.
