Suppliants Project

The Suppliants Project presents dramatic readings by acclaimed actors of scenes from Aeschylus’ play The Suppliants—an ancient tragedy about fifty refugees who seek asylum in the ancient city of Argos, and the struggle within that city about whether to receive them—as a catalyst for powerful, candid discussions about immigration, domestic and gender-based violence, human trafficking, and the refugee crisis.

Translated, directed, and facilitated by Bryan Dorries.

This event is sponsored by Revelle College, Humanities Program at Revelle College, The Center for Hellenic Studies, and Chicanx and Latinx Studies. Additional support from the Institute of Arts and Humanities, Office of the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, Vice Chancellor's Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Ancient Worlds, Modern Communities (SCS), Gerry and Jeannie Rangias Chair in Ancient Greek History, Making of the Modern World, Eleanor Roosevelt College, Classical Studies Program, History, Latin America Studies, The Ancient Jewish Civilization Chair, and Middle East Studies.
