East Coast Artists: YokastaS (2003)

Video documentation of East Coast Artists' performance YokastaS, presented as a part of the 4th Encuentro of the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics Spectacles of Religiosities, celebrated in July of 2003 in New York City, United States. YokastaS, a play written by Saviana Stanescu and Richard Schechner and directed by Schechner explores the central figure of Yokasta--Oedipus's Queen-Mother-Wife by presenting theatergoers with four Yokastas, each representing distinct parts of her life and different approaches to her experiences. Audiences see Yokasta as a pre-teen, a young woman, a happily married woman, and an older woman who intelligently recollects all aspects of her life. Post-performance discussion led by Luis Peirano. East Coast Artists is a professional theater company performing new plays and classics in new interpretations. ECA also conducts training workshops. Founded in 1991 by Richard Schechner, ECA has produced Faust/gastronome, Amerika (after Kafka), Chekhov's 'Three Sisters, and YokastaS. ECA emphasizes a long developmental workshop and rehearsal process, open rehearsals, and continuous revision throughout the life of a production.
