"This spring the Barnard-Columbia Ancient Drama Group will present Euripides’ innovative and rarely performed tragedy Ion, a dynamic exploration of family, survival, and what it means to maintain faith in a world where even the gods commit atrocities. The play tells the story of Creusa, an Athenian princess raped and abandoned by the god Apollo, and Ion, a foundling raised as a servant in Apollo’s sanctuary at Delphi. Their meeting unleashes an exciting plot of mistaken identities, long-kept secrets, and, ultimately, reunion and reconciliation. This production will offer the rare opportunity to see Euripides’ masterpiece in the original Greek with English supertitles, complete with all new music and choreography. Please note that this production contains non-graphic discussion of sexual assault and its aftermath."
