Trina Magness and Dan O’Neill in Auto da Fé (2012)
Auto da Fé
An original adaptation of the book by Elias Canetti by Rebecca Gorman O’Neill.
A twisted creation developed by The LIDA Project ensemble, playwright Rebecca Gorman, and director Brian Freeland. Manipulations of darkness and light and juxtapositions of ghastly imagery help to re-imagine Canetti’s breakthrough 1935 work about a lone recluse and his infinite library of books.
