RAT Labyrinth of Mirrors



On Thursday, Oct. 21, at 6:30 PM, blue star performance company will present "
Labyrinth of Mirrors", an adaptation of writing by Jorge Luis Borges, at the 
Chicago Cultural Center, Randolph & Michigan.   Free.

Argentinean Jorge Luis Borges, who would be 100 this year, introduced fantasy 
into Latin American fiction, forever changed the Spanish language, and is 
considered the literary ancestor of Fuentes, Garcia Marquez, and much 
contemporary science fiction.  He wrote short stories, poetry, and essays -- 
never a novel -- which blended detective fiction, metaphysics, and his 
encyclopedic novel of world literature.

blue star is performing selections from his work, giving spectators a 
dazzling theatrical overview of his themes and obsessions.  2 languages, 5 
actors, 6 mirrors, 1 hour.
Don't miss it.

And if you can't make it, get us to tour to your town.
