Espejos: Clean Program

Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1917, Lillian Slutzker was a survivor. After fleeing Nazi control for England, she met her husband at a USO dance and later returned to his hometown of Rome, New York.

She dedicated her life to bettering her community. The foundation’s purpose is to carry on her incredible legacy and fulfill her passion for Judaism, education, the arts, and enriching the community.

The Slutzker Family Foundation is thrilled to be partnering with Syracuse Stage as a season sponsor, including the show Espejos: Clean featuring women who, like Lillian, faced adversity yet pushed ahead.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

DEAR FRIENDS,

Thanks for joining us for Espejos: Clean here at Syracuse Stage! This beautiful play is one we’ve been looking forward to all season, and we’re so glad to share it with you as our first offering in 2023.

In giving us an intimate view of what could easily have been a missed human connection, Espejos: Clean reminds us just how interwoven all our lives are. Regardless of language, and regardless of whether we seek or recognize those moments of connection, we are undeniably people of community, and in communities. What does this mean for us, for Syracuse Stage, in this community? It means that we will continue to find ways in which our work – onstage and off – reflects and invites our neighbors into community, and into conversation.

We’re grateful to our season sponsors, production sponsors, and media sponsors (check them out on pages 14 and 15!) for helping fuel this work, and to our community partners at La Casita Cultural Center for helping bring new conversations to life. In keeping with La Casita’s mission to bridge the Hispanic communities of Syracuse University and those of Central New York, we’re delighted to collaborate with our neighbors in the Near Westside. Special thanks to the Syracuse University Humanities Center for their ongoing support, and we hope you’ll join us for events at Stage and at La Casita on Sunday, February 19.

Additionally, we’re thrilled that playwright Christine Quintana has been able to spend time in Syracuse to be part of the play’s East Coast Premiere and for a reading from her new play El Terremoto. Syracuse Stage continues to be a home for artists and for the development of new work, and we’re proud to have Christine with us!

Finally, we’re putting the finishing touches on plans for 2023 – 2024! We look forward to sharing that news this spring, and to celebrating 50 years of Syracuse Stage with you next season!

With appreciation,

Jill Anderson Managing Director

MENSAJE DE LA DIRECTORA GERENCIAL

ESTIMADOS AMIGOS,

Gracias por unirse a Syracuse Stage para la producción de Espejos: Clean! Esta preciosa obra es una por la cual hemos estado esperando durante esta temporada, y estamos encantados de compartirla con ustedes como nuestro primer ofrecimiento en el año 2023.

Espejos: Clean nos recuerda cuan interconectadas están nuestras vidas al presentar la visualización de lo que pudo ser una conexión humana perdida. Independientemente del lenguaje, y a pesar de nuestra capacidad de reconocer esos momentos de conexión, somos innegablemente personas de la comunidad, en la comunidad. ¿Qué significa esto para nosotros, para Syracuse Stage, para la comunidad? Esto significa que continuaremos buscando la forma en la que nuestro trabajo – en el escenario y fuera de él – reflexione e invite a nuestros vecinos a conversar y a ser parte de la comunidad.

Estamos agradecidos a nuestros auspiciadores de la presente temporada, la Fundación Reisman y la Fundación Slutzker; a la Junta de Directores del teatro como auspiciadores de esta producción teatral y a nuestros auspiciadores mediáticos – CNY Latino, Urban CNY and WAER 88.5 FM por apoyar este trabajo y finalmente a La Casita Cultural Center por ayudarnos a traer a la luz nuevas conversaciones. En el espíritu de la misión de La Casita, que es tender un puente entre la comunidad hispana de Syracuse University y la región central del estado de Nueva York, estamos honrados de colaborar con nuestros vecinos del Near West Side. Un agradecimiento especial al Centro de Humanidades de Syracuse University por su constante apoyo, y esperamos se unan a los eventos del domingo, 19 de febrero en el teatro y en La Casita.

Además, estamos encantados de que la dramaturga, Christine Quintana, estará en Syracuse para el estreno de la obra en la costa este de los Estados Unidos de América, y para una lectura de su nueva obra, El terremoto. Syracuse Stage continúa siendo una cuna para artistas y para el desarrollo de nuevas obras teatrales, ¡y estamos orgullosos de recibir a Christine!

Finalmente, continuamos trabajando con los últimos detalles de la temporada 202324. Esperamos compartir la noticia de esta con ustedes en la primavera; y a celebrarla como la número 50 de Syracuse Stage.

En agradecimiento,

Jill Anderson Directora gerente

Translation isn’t simple. It’s interpretation. There’s what a sentence says, what it means, and how it feels. There are many points of departure and moments of transformation. And the truth: the translation will never truly replicate the original. The sentence was something – and now it’s something else.

Paula (translator and adaptor) and I, over years of emails and WhatsApp voice memos and GoogleDocs, have worked together to articulate the inner worlds of Adriana and Sarah and bring them to life in two languages. Paula, a consummate translator, is fluent in both. Whereas my intermediate Spanish gives me facility to understand what a sentence says, but not always what it means. It’s an exercise in trust. And then we face the inherent cultural inheritances of language – “I’m sorry,” the hallmark Canadian phrase which tumbles from Sarah’s lips dozens of times in the script, translates to “ lo siento” – which translates back to “I feel you. It moves me.” Something, into something else.

Every interaction we have with one another is an act of translation. The herculean task of answering

the question “how are you?” The subtext we interpret when someone answers “I’m fine.” The act of presenting ourselves to one another, and the ways in which we interpret and understand each other, is an immense act of trust. The trust to be understood, and to understand, knowing there will always be something lost in translation even if we’re speaking the same language, about the same things. What I mean when I say to you, “I’m glad you’re here” and “thank you for coming” is as much your interpretation as my intention. But I trust you. Confío en ti.

– Christine Quintana

CHRISTINE QUINTANA

Espejos: Clean

MENSAJE DE LA DRAMATURGA

Traducir no es sencillo. Es interpretar. Por un lado, está lo que dice la oración; por otro, lo que significa, y por el otro, cómo se siente. Hay muchos puntos de partida y momentos de transformación. Y la verdad: la traducción realmente jamás será una réplica del original. La oración era una cosa—y ahora es otra.

Paula (traductora y adaptadora) y yo, a lo largo de años de emails y notas de voz de WhatsApp y GoogleDocs, hemos trabajado juntas para articular los mundos internos de Adriana y Sarah, para traerlos a la vida en dos idiomas. Paula, una traductora consumada, domina los dos. Mientras que mi español intermedio me da la posibilidad de entender lo que la oración dice, pero no siempre lo que quiere decir. Es un ejercicio de confianza. Y, luego, nos enfrentamos a las herencias culturales inherentes a los idiomas. La traducción más directa de “perdón/I’m sorry”—LA frase canadiense por excelencia, que cae de los labios de Sarah decenas de veces en el guion—es “lo siento”, que se traduce de regreso al español significa algo como “Me toca. Me conmueve”. Una cosa se convierte en otra.

Cada interacción que tenemos lxs unxs con lxs otrxs es un acto de traducción. La labor titánica de con-

testar a la pregunta “¿cómo estás?”, el subtexto que interpretamos cuando alguien dice “estoy bien”, el acto de presentarnos a nosotrxs mismxs ante lxs demás; y las formas en que nos interpretamos y comprendemos lxs unxs a lxs otrxs, es un acto de confianza. La confianza de que seremos comprendidxs, de que comprenderemos, sabiendo que siempre algo se perderá en la traducción, aun cuando estamos hablando el mismo idioma y sobre las mismas cosas. Lo que quiero decir cuando digo, “me da gusto que estés aquí” y “gracias por venir”, depende de tu interpretación tanto como de mí intención. Pero confío en ti. I trust you.

– Christine Quintana

CHRISTINE QUINTANA

CREATING THE WORLD OF ESPEJOS: CLEAN

“The set is inspired by the playfullness and versatility inside the architecture of the pools at the resorts and the presence of water serves as the vehicle for transformation.”

“I often think of painting, as if each instrument is like a hue, each note a different shade... and I keep thinking of the way tanning oil pollutes water in beautiful and unsettling ways.”

“The translucency of Sarah’s button down shirt and the shimmer and reflection from Adriana’s sequined dress are both ways that I wanted to have the costumes suggest the presence of water onstage.”

“Vivid environments inspired by the beautiful architecture and rich culture of Mexico... functional locations intertwined with the beauty of the text and bursts of magical realism.”

– Lisa Renkel, Projection Designer

“How can light change the air of the resort from lush, romantic sunsets to harsh nightmares and abstract fantasies?”

– Mariana Sanchez, Set Designer

CREANDO EL MUNDO DE LOS

ESPEJOS: CLEAN

“El set esta inspirado por la arquitectura interior de las albercas en los resorts, pensando en el agua como el elemento que sirve como vehiculo para el cambio.”

– Mariana Sanchez, Diseño escénico

“ La translucidez de la blusa de Sarah y el brillo y el reflejo del vestido de lentejuelas de Adriana son formas en las que quería que el vestuario sugiriera la presencia del agua en el escenario.”

– Lux Haac, Diseño de vestuario

“¿Cómo puede la luz cambiar el ambiente del hotel desde ocasos románticos y opulentos, a pesadillas fuertes, y fantasías abstractas?”

– Colleen Doherty, Diseño de iluminacion

“Me inspiro en la pintura, como si cada instrumento fuera un tinte diferente, cada nota un matiz... reflexiono como los aceites bronceadores causan contaminación en el agua en formas bellas e inquietantes.”

– Daniela Hart, Diseño de sonido

“Ambientes vívidos inspirados en la hermosa arquitectura y la rica cultura de México... localidades funcionales entrelazadas con la belleza del texto y explosiones de realismo mágico.”

– Lisa Renkel, Diseño de proyección

ANTI-RACISM PLEDGE

ABOUT SYRACUSE STAGE

Originally constructed as the Regent Movie House in 1914, the physical space of Syracuse Stage has seen many films, musicians, actors, and artists pass through its doors over the course of the past century. The Syracuse Stage that exists today is a nonfor-profit professional theatre company founded in 1974, and a longstanding League of Resident Theatres (LORT) member. Since its inception, Stage has produced over 300 shows, both plays and musicals, within its walls. Now, Stage produces six to seven shows per season, while also offering educational programs to students, various pre- and post-show events, and fundraising events each year. Stage is Central New York’s only LORT theatre and one of the largest performing arts organizations in the area. Stage has a strong commitment to giving the community access to a range of high-quality productions; it is equally committed to bringing in actors, designers, and directors who are among the leading theatre professionals, both locally and across the nation.
