Paula Cizmar

Another stunner. Batting two for two this week. Ainadamar at LA Opera. A frightening look at the life and death of Federico Garcia Lorca in Franco’s fascist Spain—which feels all too familiar right now. But you know what? No matter how much dictators try to control it, art talks back.

In which I match the color of the LAFPI badges. (Yay Female Playwrights Initiative night at the Geffen!)

A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars.

--Salman Rushdie, at the PEN World Voices Festival, 2022

So come to the pond,
Or the river of your
imagination,
Or the harbor of your
longing.
And put your lip to
the world.
And live
Your life.
--from “Mornings at Blackwater” by Mary Oliver

Move over sadness and grief. Fury gets more done.

Dissociation, Misogyny, and Saturday Night Live in Authoritarian Times - Women’s Media Center Saturday Night Live, a cultural mainstay that has offered healing and hope at pivotal moments of national crisis, chose instead to rub salt in the wound in its first post-election episode.

And some things just aren't funny. Thanks, Jennifer Pozner, for the great read.
