A filmed performance of Howard Rubenstein’s translation of Aeschylus’ tragedy, premiering on CyberTank and available to stream from March 24 to April 11, 2021. Directed by Ran Xia.
This modern adaptation of the ancient tragedy examines the discrepancy between what is legal versus what is just, to dismantle the concept of injustice veiled as order. Prometheus Bound is fully designed and staged for an audience of no one in The Tank’s 98-Seat theater. It is captured for the screen by Iris Media Works as a purely cinematic experience, with mask, original music and deeply compelling performances of the late Rubenstein's visionary text.
Featuring Brenda Crawley as Prometheus - with Macy Lacenta as Io, Iván Hernandez as Okeanos, Juan Arturo as Hephaestus, Olivia Rose Barresi as Hermes, and Alice Marcondes, Chloe Simone Crawford, Kaila Wooten, and Sophia Aranda as Water Nymphs.
