...production is conservative, which is not surprising. Allegorical reinterpretation, the rage in Europe, strikes no sympathetic chords at Lincoln Center, where an earnest conventionality prevails. Schenk and Schneider- Siemssen staged the Met's highly regarded 1977 Tannhauser, a glowing, romantic evocation of the Thuringian countryside, with a sharp eye for naturalistic detail, and their Die Walkure is in the same tradition. Hunding's rude hut in Act I is an enormous wooden lodge, with an imposing tree growing in its center, while the landscapes of Acts II and III are rocky and forbidding. They are not so much sets...
...play outside its homeland. Mbongeni Ngema's group portrait of five prisoners, together with four other plays of protest, will run for four weeks in New York City and Washington.

His commitment to sculpture as an act of hollowing, modeling and smoothing the "body" of a single mass ran counter to the pattern of 20th century sculpture, which was to construct from disparate parts a shape that did not need...
Redford hopes the homecoming crowd enjoys some such feeling. They will, she thinks, if they set aside their rage at the hideous fact of slavery and let new knowledge make them feel more complete. This, she says, is what she means when she speaks of the homecoming as a "healing...
