FOUR SAINTS IN THREE ACTS
Four Saints in Three Acts is a culmination of Greenspan’s more than decade long journey into creating a tour de force trilogy of solo interpretations of plays from the 1920’s. In Four Saints in Three Acts, Greenspan concludes this ambitious series with his interpretation of a radical libretto by famed modernist writer and art collector Gertrude Stein. Originally set to music by Virgil Thomson, Greenspan will perform the script only, allowing a lyrical interpretation to set the tone for an evening where sound and words delight the senses.

MALINCHE: A BROKEN IDENTITY
Malinche addresses the origins, names, life, and real and symbolic functions. Malinche has performed throughout Mexican history, including her troubled relationships with her son Martín Cortés; her husbands Tabascoob, and Hernán Cortés; and her baptizer Father Olmedo. Malinche rebels against her roles through the ages; confronts the shadows of power; and assumes, with courage and pain, her fundamental role in shaping Mexican identity.
