“Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists”

Fri., July 5, 8 p.m. and Sat., July 6, 7 p.m.

Under the fascist regime of António de Oliveira Salazar, activist Catarina Eufémia was fatally shot by the police in a protest for workers rights in Portugal. Eufémia’s tragic death made her an icon of the resistance movement and sparked the idea for Festival d’Avignon director Tiago Rodrigues’s fictional play, “Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists.” In the play, a woman of a Portuguese family must kidnap and kill a fascist in honor of Eufémia every year. In 2028, the youngest family member, also named Catarina, is the first to refuse to carry out the ritual. The play will be making its US premiere at PS21, performed in Portuguese with English supertitles.

"Ulysses"

Through July 14

If there’s one theatrical ensemble in America that is up for taking on James Joyce's Ulysses, it’s Elevator Repair Service. Founded in 1991 by John Collins, who for 13 years worked as a sound designer at the pivotal Wooster Group (the alma mater of Willem Defoe and Spalding Gray), Elevator Repair Service—cited as “one of New York City’s few truly essential theater companies” by the New York Times—has produced acclaimed adaptations of other modernist works including a version of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury; “The Select,” a reworking of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises; and, most famously, “Gatz,” an eight-hour performance of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
