Talks
Town Hall with Bryan Doerries
Performance dates are highlighted in white.
In conjunction with BASETRACK Live
Bryan Doerries, founder of Theater of War—a project that presents readings of ancient Greek plays to military and civilian communities—leads a discussion of this season’s staging of Basetrack Live and the impact of war on servicemen and women, their families, veterans, and the community at large.
This powerful work offers an inside look at the war in Afghanistan, giving voice to Marines from Unit 1/8 and their families with help from videos and interviews from the online photojournalism project Basetrack.
Simon Critchley explores the notion of nostos, the Greek word for homecoming, to better understand the psychological truths faced by servicemen and women returning from war today.
Veterans, civilians, families, and philosophers come together for intimate conversations about the costs of war in these events exploring life on, and beyond, the military’s front lines.
