Class play explores Russian
version of classic fairy tale
BTAMYLICHTY
SENIOR PULSE REPORTER
Every culture has its traditional fairy
tales of love, monsters, good conquer
ing evil and lessons to be learned that
get passed on from generation to gen
eration. The timeless fairy tale of
“Beauty and the Beast” has long been
a part of societies around the world,
with origins dating back to the classic
story of Cupid and Psyche. These tales
differ in their specific details, but the
classic theme of love overcoming ap
pearance remains.
At the University, Julia Ne
mirovskaya, an assistant professor in
the Russian and East European Stud
ies Center, has reworked the Russian
version of this fairy tale, titled “The
Scarlet Flower,” originally written by
Sergei Aksakov. It will be performed at
7:30 p.m. Friday in Agate Hall.
In her version of “The Scarlet
Flower,” Nemirovskaya has incorpo
rated many of the traditional Russian
fairy tales she was told as a child into a
performance that takes place in a Russ
ian Dvorets (the Czar’s palace), where
a spoiled and child-like Tsarevich
(prince) is forced, for the sake of the
Tsarstvo (state), to marry. He insists
that every prospective bride tell him a
fairy tale he does not know because he
grew up with a loving nanny who told
him every Russian fairy tale ever
known. After turning down many
beautiful brides-to-be, the spoiled
prince offends the wrong woman,
who turns him into a hideous beast.
Soon after, Beauty enters his life. She
must spend her days with the beast in
exchange for her father’s life, who
picked a scarlet flower from the beast’s
garden to bring home to her. As the old
fairy tale goes, the prince must learn
how to love and be loved, and Beauty
is of course the one who teaches him.
The actors in the play aren’t the
ater arts majors; they are students ex
ploring the Russian culture and lan
guage in Russian Through Theatre, a
class Nemirovskaya teaches through
out the year. Every term she teaches
the class, Nemirovskaya writes a
different play for her students to per
form, inspired both by Russian
culture and the class itself.
“After I find out how many students
are in my class, I go home and write
the play because then I’ll know how
many parts I need and what kind of
people I know I’ll be working with,”
Nemirovskaya said.
“The Scarlet Flower” will be a bilin
gual play, mostly in Russian but with
an English synopsis throughout. There
will also be traditional Russian songs,
dances and costumes.
“Through the humor, singing, danc
ing and the story itself, we’re trying to
teach people about Russia and their
views of beauty, the traditional Russ
ian dress and the way they walk and
talk,” said Amberle Johnson, who
plays the First Bride and serves as as
sistant director. “Basically, we’re just
trying to expose people to a different
way of life. There’s going to be some
gypsy dancing and some traditional
Russian dances and songs. And it’s go
ing to be really funny. ”
There is no cost to attend the per
formance, but donations — monetary,
props and other needed materials —
are welcome.

OMAS: Policy is against diversity Hanks says
Continued from page 1
unique learning experiences for
students,” including the one OMAS
coordinates.
“This office provides services to
minority students, including the co
ordination of class registration for a
few specific courses, which attempt
to create a critical number of minor
ity students in some course sec
tions,” the statement reads. “How
ever, these sections are available to
all students and any student may
take the courses in these sections as
long as space is available. Courses
at the University of Oregon have
space restrictions designed to bal
ance access and cost with providing
individualized educational experi
ences. We evaluate our student pro
grams on an ongoing basis to en
sure that all students have equal
opportunities to participate in a Uni
versity of Oregon education.”
Misley said he filed a complaint
because he “felt no group of
students should have to go through
extraordinary means to register
for a class based solely on their
skin color. ”
Hanks said it struck her as “sad”
that nobody had filed a complaint
with the DOE before she did.
“It really shuts down that idea of
diversity because it’s not letting a
group of people have a voice in a
classroom setting just because of
their skin color,” Hanks said. “If this
ends up being a big deal, I will stick
by it. I will see it through. ... If they
insist on discriminating based on
race, I don’t see any reason why
I shouldn’t.”
