...choreography make the most of the set, putting couples in their separate cubicles at times, and at others bringing them out of the corner like boxers to do battle (sometimes literally). The couples also emerge from their spaces in lighter moments to crowd around Robert, bringing good cheer and claustrophobia-causing affection in equal measures...
...rule are rhetorical and overblown. Those who are ill at ease in today's Russia for whatever reason can choose to live and work abroad (indeed, many of Putin's critics have decamped to London); an earlier generation could only dream of such freedom. Still, Kondaurov's feeling of claustrophobia - what Victoria Webb of Amnesty International describes as "the shrinking space for individual voices in Russia" - now appears to be widely shared. This year, Stanislav Dmitrievsky was prosecuted and saw his human-rights group, the Russian-Chechen Friendship Society, closed down after its newsletter reprinted speeches by Chechen separatist leaders...
...film’s painful and isolating atmosphere that not only speaks to the Finch household, but also the disco glamour and antidepressant culture of the 1970s.

...Chen ’08 and director Mary E. Birnbaum ’07, this story of a proud widow who attempts to keep her household from shame by oppressing her five rebellious daughters suggests sexual frustration and a deep disillusionment with men. These themes collide forcefully with the claustrophobia of small-town life in Spain at the turn of the century. Written by Federico Garcia Lorca and running in the Loeb Experimental Theater until April 22, the particulars of “Bernarda Alba” are not always perfect. Yet the show succeeds in presenting a drama that...
