Sponsored by the University of Notre Dame and in partnership with Theater of War Productions, The Oedipus Project presents acclaimed actors reading scenes from Sophocles' Oedipus the King as a catalyst for powerful, constructive, global conversations about climate change, ecological disaster, and environmental justice. This event will take place via Zoom next Wednesday, October 27, at 7:00PM Eastern. Free registration is available here: lnkd.in/ef_TP_QA
The virtual production-sponsored by Notre Dame but open to a world-wide audience-will feature performances by Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck), Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone), Glenn Davis (Billions), Marjolaine Goldsmith (Company Manager of Theater of War Productions), and Jumaane Williams (New York City Public Advocate).
Following the reading of scenes, four members of the Notre Dame community will kick off the discussion with their responses to the reading. We will then open the discussion to the audience, facilitated by Bryan Doerries, director of The Oedipus Project.
Sophocles' ancient play, first performed in 429 BC, just after a plague that killed nearly one-third of the Athenian population, is a story of arrogant leadership, ignored prophecy, intergenerational curses, willful blindness, and a pestilence and ecological collapse that ravages the archaic city of Thebes. Seen through this lens, Oedipus the King appears to have been a powerful tool for helping Athenians communalize trauma and loss, while interrogating their own complicit role in the suffering, not just of those around them but of generations to come.

I Worried
Mary Oliver
I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?
Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?
Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.
Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?
Finally, I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang.
