Breathtaking aerial dance is metaphorically interwoven with a complex psychological drama.

This solo drama is performed by Talia Pura (www.taliapura.com)

Written by Edward Morris, The Passion of Ethel Rosenberg is a play based largely on actual letters exchanged in prison between Ethel and Julius. The play imagines Ethel’s agony at the prospect of being executed and leaving her two young sons behind.  It also traces her transition from an aspiring and talented singer to a fervent political activist and focuses on a love for her husband so passionate that she unhesitatingly followed him to the electric chair.

“This is more than a historical piece,” Morris notes.  “It’s a play that’s relevant to any era in which rampant fear and suspicion override reason and the public’s sense of fairness.” 

The play comes to Santa Fe under the aegis of promoter Grace Reinbold after trial runs in Nashville.  It has particular relevance for Santa Fe audiences, Reinbold notes, because Ethel Rosenberg and her husband, Julius, were convicted of spying for Russia on testimony provided by Ethel’s brother, David Greenglass, who confessed to stealing atomic bomb secrets while working at the government laboratories in nearby Los Alamos.

A one-woman drama, Metamorphosis is based on the lifecycle of the butterfly, with a distinct character representing each stage. It ends with the butterfly, who soars above the stage on aerial silks. Written and performed by Talia Pura, it is presented by Blue Raven Theatre.
Praise for Talia is Metamorphosis:
This one woman masterpiece culminates with an awe inspiring aerial dance...Metamorphosis is a poetic, powerful and sometimes raw, portrayal of the human spirit-- and one buff performer taking flight.
--Carolin Vesely *****Five Stars: Winnipeg Free Press
Metamorphosis is a wild ride, compellingly performed at every turn. I walked away quietly pondering the journey I had just been on...a sure sign of successful theatre.
--Erin Noel *****Five stars: CBC Radio
