The Lost Pages of War: P73 Stages Elliot, A Soldier’s Fugue by Brook Stowe
As American military deaths in Iraq climbed past the 2000 mark this past October, Slate.com ran a cartoon by Signe Wilkinson showing an infinite line of flag-draped coffins, each with a number on it. Hovering attentively about coffin number 2000 was a pack of politicians, clergy, and media. Completely ignored were coffins number 1999 and before, and 2001 onward.

IN DIALOUGE: Resisting Forgetting with Chiori Miyagawa by Caridad Svich
Chiori Miyagawa’s delicate and precisely imagined work for theatre is haunted by time’s passing and the remains of historical and cultural memory that her fragmented, contemporary characters are left to sift through in order to become whole. From America Dreaming (1995) to Woman Killer (2001) to Red Again (2004, part of Antigone Project), Miyagawa has focused her dramatic attention on the intersections between cultures, time, and the active collisions of identity that define the geographically and emotionally displaced.
