[Durham INC] Lawn & garden shop locals; Events: Full Frame & other movies; art; lectures & more

I strongly recommend shopping local, independent stores for lawn and garden
supplies instead of big box stores. If you would like my list of businesses
I suggest as alternatives let me know.

Events

Tuesday, March 16, 12-1:30 p.m.

Diane Nilan / On the Edge; Work-in-Progress Screening & Discussion

Diane Nilan presents a short excerpt from On the Edge, a film looking at the
root causes and human consequences of homelessness. Featuring seven women
who lost their housing for a variety of reasons, the film gives a painfully
intimate look at the entwined connection between poverty, housing issues,
social problems, addictions, family crises, and gender-related injustices.
(Feel free to bring your lunch.)

Diane Nilan
Founder and president of HEAR US Inc. (www.hearus.us), Since 2005, Nilan¹s
cross-country journeys to non-urban communities have focused on chronicling
poverty and homelessness, particularly for invisible families and teens.

Wednesday, March 17, 12:00 - 1:00 PM
 
PERFORMING TRUTH & RECONCILIATION
 
Catherine Cole (Professor of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies, UC
Berkeley), Yael Farber (Playwright / Director, Farber Foundry Theater
Company), Anne-Maria Makhulu (Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology
and African & African American Studies, Duke University) and Cast members
from MoLoRa. 
 
The company will stage two performances of MoLoRa, its acclaimed adaptation
of Aeschylus¹s Oresteia.  MoLoRa turns the ageless language of Greek tragedy
toward a particularly modern object ‹ South Africa¹s Truth and
Reconciliation Commission, when torturers and tortured confronted one
another in open court. As a white Klytemnestra and a black Elektra speak
testimony into dark spaces, a chorus of Ngqoko elders drones laments, an
unceasing, split-tone indictment that is devastating and beautiful at once.
In this tragedy for the global age, classical form and contemporary life
come into contact, throwing off sparks that are appropriate, since in
Sesotho, MoLoRa means ³ash.²
