...have a certain aesthetic complexity.” This stylistic complexity can contribute to a film’s overall intricacy, as in the case of “Z32,” where the weighty conversation between the Isreali solider and his girlfriend is interspersed with Mograbi singing Grecian chorus style. The director effectively confounds the gravity of his subject matter with the frivolity of song, a component that offended Palestinian audiences when it was screened in the West Bank. But whether Mograbi’s work is sympathetic to the manipulation of the Israel Defense Forces, implicitly drawing...
...band of woman determined to end the Peloponnesian War by withholding sex from their “menfolk”—into a modern discussion of sex and gender roles. In this case, “translate” was a loose term; the disgruntled Grecian housewives drive minivans with baby-on-board stickers and complain about husbands who don’t listen to their advice.

...Archibald was brilliant in his vanity, stealing the attention of the audience as well as the rapturous maidens. His sickly counterpart, the “fleshly” Reginald, was well cast to satirize Oscar Wilde.

Cohler ’11, was the only consistently earnest element in the entire play...

Fittingly, they are also two of the most successful pairings. The bold red Mayan ‘drawing’ offsets the Grecian slighter white figure technique. It is often the similarities in works across time and place that are most intriguing. A case in the second gallery that houses fish and flowers illustrates this strength. A floral Josef Hoffman design from roughly 1920 echoes both a Chinese vase from the eleventh-century...
