    Jupiter String Quartet and Jasper String Quartet

    It’s a family affair when our friends the Jupiter Quartet joins the Jasper String Quartet—between these two acclaimed ensembles, there are three siblings, two married couples, and several former college roommates! Their collaborative concert concludes our “year of the cello” celebration with performances of Schubert’s cello quintet, Reena Esmail’s Ragamala, and the beautiful Mendelssohn Octet. Bask in the full sound of a string octet in the impeccable acoustics of Robison Hall.

    The Moors

    Performances run from Thursday, December 1 through Saturday, December 3.

    The Department of Theatre presents The Moors written by Jen Silverman and directed by Michole Biancosino.

    Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.

    Post show talk-back after the Friday performance.

    Manual Cinema: A Christmas Carol

    Following up on their smash 2019 presentation at Middlebury, the interdisciplinary performance collective Manual Cinema takes on Charles Dickens’s holiday classic A Christmas Carol with a visually inventive adaptation made for the screen. In this version, avowed holiday skeptic Aunt Trudy has been recruited to channel her late husband Joe’s famous Christmas cheer. From the isolation of her studio apartment, she reconstructs his annual Christmas Carol puppet show—over a Zoom call while the family celebrates Christmas Eve under lockdown.

    Heart of Afghanistan

    The Heart of Afghanistan project features four brilliant Afghan musicians—famed singer/Afghan TV star Ahmad Fanoos on vocals & harmonium, his sons Elham on piano and Fanoos on violin, and Ahmad Sohail Karimi on tabla—who are currently unable to perform inside Afghanistan, where the Taliban has banned all music.

    Freedom Dreaming: Envisioning an Antiracist Middlebury

    “Freedom Dreaming: Envisioning an Antiracist Middlebury” is a research and theatre piece examining the academic experience of BIPOC students at Middlebury College. The project has roots and wings in student voice via the core question: “What would an antiracist Middlebury look like, sound like, feel like in an academic setting?” We were interested in holding space for struggle while saving room for possibility. To do so we conducted over 60 interviews with mostly BIPOC students on our campus. We then transcribed and coded those interviews and used them as the basis of this theatre piece.
