Antígona Furiosa (1986) is a re-shaping and re-telling of the Antigone story. During an interview in 1998, Gambaro had this to say about her work: “I knew I was going to subvert Sophocles’ idea, in that I was going to speak with the voice of the Latin American woman and through the voices of so many women in my country who have done the exact same thing as Antigone, who disobeyed Creon’s order and threw a handful of dirt over her brother’s body, enough to uphold the tradition of an honorable burial for the dead. Antigone is every one of the Madres de Plaza de Mayo who have paid for their disobedience with their lives.”

Notre Dame faculty members and internationally acclaimed performers Tricia Park (violin) and John Blacklow (piano) perform a duo recital including the Sonata Op. 78 of Brahms, and two works by Ravel:  the stylistically fascinating Sonata and the powerful and flashy Tzigane.

Praised for her “astounding virtuosic gifts” (Boston Herald), Tricia Park is a recipient of the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant.  John Blacklow has performed in such venues as Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and Salzburg’s Mozarteum, and has been hailed by the New York Times for his “powerful and eloquent” playing.
