Eurocentric Europertric to say about the work done in Yoruba, but The size of the brothers I found me to think of the old philosophy. Prolataposes Car Mechanic Ogun Size (André Holland), André Holland), up and work hard on the driveway, and Alani was locked), lying on the bed, dreaming. Right, Tathell Alvin McCraney draws old difference between Vita Activa once Vita at Formeapiva: Healthy Life and Thinking Thinking. Given that McCraney chooses the names of the gods of the yoruba, there is also a violent touch of the mystery here: People continued the divine account.

Not to load the excess, but also in the American Drama area that sets up mythicals in normal lives; View Thortton Wilder Wailider Metapyics in Our City Or Tony Kushner’s Eraphic Heralys visit AIDS patients. The size of the brothers May be very modest on scale – improved and presented 20 years ago when the author is at a graduate school – but this story remains, especially in this music disposal, music. Since I started holding the game as part of a trilogy called My brother / sister is playing In 2009 public games, I really liked the idea of ​​MCCRANY’s Heart-fork-forward (also connecting the ScreenPlay screen The Light Light). The Revival was founded last year in Geffen Playhouse, where the Playwright is a masterpiece.

Family my honesty and freedom of the QUER ANCYs, playwright is written with a deep feeling of the customs issuing detail. The stage is empty but is a white sandbar that Trickster Electba (Malcolm Mays) pours around. From the beginning, the magical binding the brothers in their complex love of love. Ogun permanently reminds his latest Stint, showing spicy disappointments and sacrifice. Oskoosi gets Ogun’s work killing and crazy, and always criticized. Elda’ba went down on our brothers and even in dark; He was in prison with Oshosi, and it is firmly exposed to love them while they are bound.

Three of the brothers in the brothers depend on, in the middle, dressed in ordinary work clothes and make a dark background of the members who look visibly appeared behind them.Three of the brothers in the brothers depend on, in the middle, dressed in ordinary work clothes and make a dark background of the members who look visibly appeared behind them.

McCraney world is the amazing liquid and porous; The real world “is the real” phase phases in seconds, as both of the brothers found disturbing dreams about their soft obligations. In fact, not all the story of separation; The arc shows how life’s lives joined since the death of Mother’s morning was able to commit themselves. On the script, the letters relate their actions and their discussion, spend obstacles between players and audience. Just as we pass our molecules with one another, the ‘internal and external characters remain in flux:

Ogun size
Ogun size you log in
Osa!
To drive his brother
Self-…
Oshoosi size!

Ogun size
Getting up, comes
Og man
Why do you call?

Documentation of the Special Arrangement, Swirl players in a lasting movement, are directed by MCCRANY and Bijan Sheibani, are accompanied by the Percussionists Munir Take, accompanied by the type of tools that expand the development. Holland, the good presence showing deep sensitivity, his spaming voice, takes a heavy shell like a frustrated Ogun. (Since I played ElectionBA in 2009, Holland knows his way around its lyric lyries.) Like an unsuccessful Oshoosa, it is bratty but wishing for Charisma; He is an officer damaged in his himself in his quest. Mays ties everything like a sexy and a dangerous hellegelba, Oshooses and made him vulnerable to racism.

If you set aside the Thoruba Cosmology Action feature of Yoruba Cosmoba The size of the brothersThe work of 90 minutes do not return to rewrite domestic or social drive. Two black men, working low-scale made up of age in a part of a real louisiana, but eventually the nature of unity. It is ‘how’ McCraney’s arts lifting the ropes into poetry of disaster near spiritual release. As well as my background issues, I remembered that, during the epidemic, we longed to be a plane theater, a primal, connected our shared personality. Thanks to McCraney and his artists, the musicians answered that prayer.
