Cavafy's Caress - Encore
Cavafy's Caress is an intimate theatrical performance exploring the vibrant and passionate words and world of renowned Greek gay poet, Constantine P. Cavafy (1863-1933). A graceful collection of some of Cavafy's greatest poems are arranged to create a story that gives the audience a sensuous glimpse into his life and a mature rumination on his relationship with sexuality, memory, youth, and the love of beauty.
Cavafy, who was once described by the renowned writer E. M. Forster as "standing at a slight angle to the universe," is internationally celebrated as one of the most original poets of the twentieth century. He charged his words with irony, eroticism, longing, and deep reflections on history's changing fortunes.
This special encore performance was added due to the great response after its initial offering. A short video edit of the original production can be viewed at: http://vimeo.com/jasonjenn/cavafyedit
