Drawing from fragments of Sappho’s poetry\, Kassiane’s hymns\, as well as four generations of private family writings and oral history\, composer and performer Theodosia Roussos shares the story of her great-grandmother Polymnia Athanasiadis Pappas\, a young woman whose family was expelled from its village by the Ottoman Turks during the Asia Minor Catastrophe. Roussos draws influence from her Greek Cypriot American background and weaves elements of Byzantine and Greek folk music into the score. \nPresented in both Greek and English\, Polymnia reveals the very personal and also political experience of diaspora—what is lost\, what is retained\, and what cannot be forgotten. \nThis event is being held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nPolymnia is produced by Plain Wood Productions. \nFor inquiries\, please contact hellenic@humnet.ucla.edu. \nTickets \n$35-$60 \nSOLD OUT \n*If you have purchased a ticket and need accommodations (wheelchair\, walker\, etc.)\, please contact us at the email above. \nParking information \nParking information for ticketholders: The Little Theater is located in Macgowan Hall at UCLA. Please park in Parking Structure 3 North\, which is near the northeast corner of the campus\, close to Hilgard Ave and Sunset Blvd. \n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $15 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectevent.aspx.
