Performance.
The Gods Are Not To Blame. Through Oct. 9. Head Terrace (amphitheater), Student Learning Center. 542-8468.

UGA’s Black Theatrical Ensemble will perform Ola Rotimi’s The Gods Are Not to Blame, a Nigerian adaptation of the Sophocles classic Oedipus Rex.

The play is directed by Freda Scott Giles of the department of theatre and film studies and the Institute for African-American Studies.

Nigerian playwright Ola Rotimi wrote The Gods Are Not to Blame in 1968, during a period of bitter civil war as the Igbo people of eastern and southern Nigeria attempted to establish the secessionist Republic of Biafra. After three bloody years of warfare, economic sanctions, and starvation, Biafra surrendered.

“Rotimi saw an analogy between the terrible violence caused by ethnic pride in Nigeria and the tragic consequences of Oedipus’s fateful crossroads encounter with a familiar stranger,” says Giles. “In both Gods and Oedipus, individual action is the catalyst for devastating consequences.”

Evening performances of The Gods Are Not to Blame begin at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 7-8. Matinee performances Oct. 8-9 begin at 3 p.m.

Tickets $5 ($3 students). They may be purchased at the information desk of the Tate Student Center or at the door on the day of the performance.

Dance Concert.
Ballet Flamenco José Porcel. $24–$29 (half-price students). 7:30 p.m. Hodgson Hall. Sponsored by Performing Arts Center (Dance Festival Series). 542-4400.

Although the origins of flamenco are uncertain, it is highly probable that flamenco singing and dancing originated in Andalucia around the 15th century, during the Gypsies’ encounter with the inhabitants of southern Spain. Flamenco dancing began as a rhythmic form of accentuation for singing and evolved into a form of folk dancing known for its irresistible erotic appeal and irrepressible energy.

Artistic director José Porcel was born in Sevilla, and at the age of 13 began dancing Andalucian folkloric dances and flamenco in cultural centers in Valencia. He began his dance studies at 16 with master Martín Vargas and in 1989 made his professional debut with Ballet de Valencia. In 1991 he choreographed his first flamenco work, Te traigo al sur, Miguel, under the direction of the flamencologist Federico Torres, in the Teatro Principal in Alicante.

In 2000 Porcel danced as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, under the direction of Maestro Héctor Zaraspe. That same year he was contracted as the first dancer in the Compañia Española de Antonio Márquez, performing on tour around the world and at the Ópera de París for over 20 sold-out performances, followed by a critically acclaimed tour of the U.S. during the 2001-2002 season.

A pre-concert lecture will be given by Mark Wheeler, a faculty member in the UGA dance department. The lecture begins 45 minutes prior to the performance and is free and open to the public.

Tickets are $24-$29. UGA students with a valid ID may purchase a ticket for half price. Discounted tickets are available for groups of 10 or more. Tickets may be purchased at the ticket office in the Performing Arts Center,
542-4400, open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.
