Sellars, who was born in Pittsburgh in 1957, is world-famous for staging bizarre twists on classic drama. With his short frame dressed in bright colors and elaborate accessories, Sellars speaks slowly and never breaks eye contact. He smiles frequently from beneath a shock of brown hair that resembles Astroturf...
A friend introduced him to Herakles five years ago, but after Sept. 11 Sellars says he felt the show—written in 430 B.C.—was especially appropriate.
Sellars uses a traditional translation, in part, he says, to avoid accusations that he twisted Euripides’ Greek to fit a political agenda.
To end the night, Sellars, in conjunction with the Harvard Film Archive, chose non-documentary films to provide an artistic perspective on the plight of refugees.
Sellars says he urges refugee participants to think of “five things they want to say during their speeches, five things they’d want fellow Americans on their subway to know.”
