The Maids by Jean Genet, translation by Martin Crimp

Two maids indulge in a delicious game of role-play as they plot the murder of their capricious mistress. As the stakes rise, their performance spirals into a ritual where adoration, hatred, sacrifice, and glory promise a grand spectacle of liberation. The Maids is a timely parable of the destructive desire to become those we idolize. 

Directed by Professor Claudio Medeiros. Senior work in acting by Zeph Santiago and Ryan Ulen.

The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.
