"Eden is coming to the Apple. The Big Apple, that is. New York City will become a garden of original art this summer with performances of never-before- seen works gracing The First New York International Festival of the Arts.

The festival, which has been years in the planning, will bring together the world`s foremost performing artists for a monthlong celebration of 20th century creativity, June 11 to July 11. Much of what those artists present will be new to the city, the country or the world.

``We`ve tried to give a bird`s-eye view of the century,`` said Tony Rudel, the festival`s deputy director for music. ``It`s amazing what the world has done in 88 years.``

Research Article

Abstract

Knowledge of the theatre of South America tends to be shamefully scanty in the English-speaking world: yet the forces of rapid political change, both revolutionary and repressive, often provoke innovative theatrical responses. NTQ intends to pursue the study of theatre in this huge continent. The following interview was conducted by Glenn Loney with the young director Carlos Gimenez – a refugee from Argentina presently working with his Rajatabla troupe in Caracas, Venezuela – whose production of Bolivar was brought to the Public Theatre in New York last summer, with a return visit planned to include The Death of Garcia Lorca, both discussed in the following conversation. Glenn Loney is a widely published American drama critic, teacher, and writer, presently teaching on the doctoral theatre programme of the City University of New York, and working on the American volume in the Documents of Theatre History series for publication by Cambridge University Press.
