Good and evil literally battle
in new play at Lord Leebrick
■Audiences should be prepared
for a sensory overload when
watching ‘Primitive World’
By Jen West
Oregon Daily Emerald
Drama, music, politics and poetry
merge in an intense story of money
and corruption in playwright Amiri
Baraka’s anti-nuclear jazz opera
“Primitive World. ”
The play, directed by Sherman
Johnson, opens at 8 p.m today at the
Lord Leebrick Theatre and will con
tinue with performances on Jan. 11,
12,17,18 and 19.
The play “is about two musicians
faced with nuclear holocaust,”
Johnson said. “Together they try to
reconstruct their lives. ”
He added that while the play con
tains the elements of a traditional
love story, the focus is the battle be
tween good and evil, where “Good”
is literally on one side of the stage
and “Evil” is on the other.
"The message is self-determina
tion through whatever station in life
you hold,” he said.
Darlene Espinoza Dadras, who
plays the evil Sado, described
“Primitive World” as a non-linear
play that demonstrates the power
that money, capitalism and materi
alism has over society. Sado and
Maso, played by Joe Von Appen, at
tack the innocent, she said, and or
chestrate the end of the world.
“It's schizophrenic," Von Appen
said. “It's going to take (all) the sens
es to grasp. It's sensory overload.”
The story of “Primitive World” is
performed against a backdrop of
music styles including jazz, folk,
blues and African American music,
according to Johnson.
“The music is a driving force of
the play,” Johnson said. But with so
many different sounds, Johnson
said he hopes it does not become a
“mish mash.”
The play features an original
score from drummer/composer
Will Calhoun, a two-time Grammy
winner for his work on “In Living
Colour,” and guitarist/vocalist Peter
Mulvey will accompany the record
ed score with live music.
Josie Basford, production designer
for the play, said from the rehearsals
she was very impressed by the talent
and energy from the actors.
“(Primitive World) will get peo
ple’s heart rates up,” she said.
Baraka — an activist, poet and
playwright — is also known as
LeRoi Jones. He is giving a free lec
ture and performance, entitled “Re
defining the Dream,” at the Univer
sity at 11 a.m. on Friday as part of
the Multicultural Center’s ongoing
events in celebration of Martin
Luther King Jr.
