The Cover Photo “The Red Dress” (2019) by Lainezworks The cover photo is of Verónica Isola (AWC Berlin) in an Argos Theatre Company production of Shakespeare, The Wet Nurse and Her Dog. In this scene, the wet nurse “talks” with her departed husband. She tells him that Juliet has asked her for a red dress. The young girl never liked red. “The very strangest thing is how this girl has changed since the ball last night. She has a sparkle in her eyes, a burst of joy. Something must have happened. Why did she ask me, today, if men like red? (She looks at the red cloth)” Verónica is the founder of Argos Theatre Company, which produces its own plays and performances: a crossing of text, live music and visual arts. You can read more about Verónica’s story and the creation of this and ongoing productions in the feature “We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On” on p. 75. www.veronicaisola.com www.argostheatrecompany.com The Back Page Photo “Behind the Scenes Glimpse” (2013) by Deborah Hoehner (AWO Moscow) “My friend, Marina, has been singing in the choir for the opera at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow for over 20 years. On the night of the premiere for the opera "Don Carlos', December 21, 2013, Marina also decided to celebrate her birthday in the dressing room with fellow singers. She invited me to come and I brought along a salad and my camera. It's always been interesting for me to see what goes on behind the scenes and it was such a privilege to spend time with these talented artists. This picture was taken while these artists, in their exquisite costumes, were waiting to go on stage.” www.deborahhoehner.com 79
