Imblanzirea Scorpiei (The Taming of the Shrew), by William Shakespeare
Directed by Paul Bargetto National Theater of Constanta, Romania

The Taming of the Shrew was developed at the National Theater of Constanta in Romania at the invitation of Artistic Director Beatrice Rancea. Constanta is Romania’s second largest city and lies on the Black Sea three hours south of Bucharest. The project was conceived with the playwright Saviana Stanescu in a four-week workshop in July and August of 2004. During this process a new translation and adaptation of the text was completed in a collaborative process with the actors. After a four-week break, rehearsals continued until the end of November. In addition to the new text, elements were incorporated using dance and the popular music of the Gypsy Taraf. The play premiered on November 19th in Constanta, and again in Bucharest on December 12, 2005.

Collective:Unconscious
Thinly disguised as an animal fable, this play presents the character of Fox, a natural born killer with a conscience. In Serenade, Fox attempts to seduce the Hens of a local henhouse, under the beak of an overprotective Rooster. The play was paired with Philosopher Fox and played at the Collective:Unconscious in February of 2005.

This production was presented in the summer of 2002 in the small coastal village of Assos on the Aegean Sea in Turkey. It was performed in the ruin of an ancient Greek temple, at the top of a mountain overlooking the town, only fifty kilometers from ancient Troy. The play relates the aftermath of the Trojan War: the Trojan Women and their fallen Queen Hecuba await death and slavery at the hands of the victorious Greeks and their own treacherous neighbors. The play was performed in Turkish and starred the legendary actress and singer Ayla Algan.

In January of 2004, East River Commedia performed two one-act plays by Slawomir Mrozek, Striptease and Out at Sea. These dark and hilarious satires on the nature of power and its corruptions played to packed houses and won sparkling reviews in the press, including a piece by Margo Jefferson of the New York Times.

Midsummer was produced at the Manhattan's Riverside Church as director Paul Bargetto's MFA Thesis. The production featured aerial dancers hanging in silk cocoons whose choreography mirrored the movement of the play and created a forest of bodies suspended in space.
