DESCRIPTION:FREE!!!\nMay 15th-18th at 8pm. \n5 short plays in different languages, each 
 with big English supersubtitles. \n\nThe presentations include:\n\nFrench: 
 Excepts from Molière's Le Malade imaginaire (The Hypochondriac), a satiric 
 look at doctors, illness, and greed, by the brilliant 17th century 
 playwright. An obsessive "invalid" disposes of both his daughter and his 
 fortune, oblivious to the impact of his actions on those around him. Miriam 
 Ellis will direct. \n\nGerman: Judith Harris-Frisk will lead her students 
 in Der farendt Schüler im Paradeis (The Travelling Scholar in Paradise) by 
 Hans Sachs, considered the most talented of the Meistersänger. In this 
 play, or Fastnachtspiele, written for the pre-Lenten carnival period in 
 Alemanic folklore, Sachs pointedly illustrates the everyday life and strife 
 of the common people, offering a view of problems that audiences might 
 encounter even today! \n\nJapanese: A poem entitled "Ikiru" (To Live) by 
 Shuntaro Tanikawa, one of the most celebrated contemporary Japanese poets, 
 will be offered by Sakae Fujita's students, who will add a few stanzas to 
 the original short work, dealing with their own concepts about what it is 
 "to live." The results may be somewhat parodic or playful but they will be 
 "real." \n\nRussian: The Russian group will perform UKSK (or ìäëä, in 
 Cyrillic), an original piece by William Nickell and his students based on 
 the genre of the Soviet musical. A charismatic UCSC professor inspires his 
 students to realize the dream of a socialist society on campus. A cast of 
 fourteen thousand! Choreography by Maryse Meijer; Bill Nickell will direct. 
 \n\nSpanish: Written by the Cuban playwright Virgilio Piñera, Estudio en 
 blanco y negro (Study in Black and White) will be directed by Paco Ramirez. 
 Two young lovers get drawn into a rambunctious political argument between 
 two fanatics, leading to a distressful realignment. Interesting statues and 
 trees will be featured.\n
