A MESSAGE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR DÁMASO RODRÍGUEZ “SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FILLED WITH WILD IMAGINATION AND HELP US TO UNDERSTAND BETTER ABOUT BEAUTIFUL UNIVERSE.”

–TODOR KOZLEK, THE BULGARIAN CARTOGRAPHER, PLAYED BY ARTISTS REP RESIDENT ARTIST ALLEN NAUSE Welcome to Artists Rep and to the World Premiere of E.M. Lewis’ Magellanica. This is our 35th season. We’ve continuously produced 35 years of thought-provoking, challenging, daring, complex, complicated, sometimes controversial — always emotionally resonant — theatre experiences. This amounts to more than 200 plays and several thousand performances.

Our mission is simple, but expansive: we produce intimate, provocative theatre and provide a home for artists and audiences of varied backgrounds to take creative risks.

Since our earliest days, Artists Rep has provided Portland audiences with the very latest in new writing for the theatre. In 2014, we stepped up our commitment to a generation of new work by launching our new play development program, Table|Room|Stage. Led by Dramaturg Luan Schooler, we set out to articulate the kind of work that best represented Artists Rep’s values. In other words, what kinds of plays did we want to help to create? What makes a play an “Artists Rep” play? What contribution did we want to make to our community and to the literature of the American theatre?

The artistic team reflected on this question, and we soon published the following: WE ARE INTERESTED IN WORK THAT:

• • • • • • •

Stands at an angle to the world and shows us something new Explores the edges, depths and heights of human experience Uses language with originality and vibrancy Embodies a muscular narrative structure and rigorous intelligence Offers a distinctly theatrical experience Has an opinion and seeks to change the conversation Risks failure rather than repeats formula

Which brings me to Oregon-based playwright E.M. Lewis’ extraordinary, ambitious and inspiring play, Magellanica. A project that embodies all of the above values and more.

Just over a year ago, I received a copy of this five-part, 5∏ hour epic and was riveted. Like a novel that draws you into its world to such a degree that you cancel plans or rush home to finish, Magellanica was captivating. I read on and off all day. I canceled plans. I began to share the script with members of the staff and resident artists whose voices were in my head as I read the script.

“I think I’ve come across something special. What do you think? Am I crazy?” I was relieved as my colleagues responded similarly. The play was vital, urgent, finely crafted and deeply personal.

But how would we even produce a 5∏ hour play? Logistics aside, I was confident that Artists Rep audiences would be as captivated as I was, but producing Magellanica would force us to modify every aspect of our process to make it happen. We’d have to rehearse it for twice as long as most productions, and we could only perform the play four or five times per week instead of seven or eight.

We’d even have to find a way to feed the audience during every performance. Not to mention E.M.’s epic vision and imagination… the play mixes intimate drama and cinematic scale. As we considered the challenges, I looked back at our values statement… “Risks failure rather than repeats formula.”

And so, we said “yes” to the extraordinary challenge and opportunity. I’m glad you’ve trusted us to take you on this journey. Welcome to the 1986 South Pole Winterover! Next stop, Antarctica.

Warmly,

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

ANTARCTICA Roald Amundsen and crew placing a Norwegian flag at the South Pole in 1911.

200 MILLION YEARS AGO: The supercontinent Pangaea breaks into two parts: Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

180 MILLION YEARS AGO: Gondwanaland breaks apart forming Africa, Australia, South America, the Indian subcontinent and Antarctica.

4TH CENTURY B.C.: Aristotle theorizes that there must be a land mass in the south to balance the known lands in the northern hemisphere. He named the southern end of the earth “Antarktikos” (the opposite of arktos, meaning bear, which refers to the constellations visible from the northern hemisphere). Later, it was renamed “Terra Australis Incognita,” or “The Unknown South Land.” At the time, geographers thought it might be attached to South America or Australia.

1519: Ferdinand Magellan sails from Spain in search of a westerly route to the Indies.

Sailing down the coast of South America he discovers a narrow passage through the tip of South America to the Pacific Ocean and names it the “Strait of Magellan.” To the south lies Tierra del Fuego, which the early geographers assumed to be the northern edge of Antarctica.

5 | Artists Repertory Theatre

1772: Explorer James Cook circumnavigates Antarctica, crossing the Antarctic Circle four times. He never sees the southern continent but finds a wealth of marine life.

1819: William Smith is blown south in a gale and accidentally discovers the South Shetland Islands — and the dense seal population. Over the next year, at least 30 American and 25 British sealing ships arrive. One ship reports harvesting 14,000 seal skins over a few weeks.

1831: John Biscoe and the Enderby Brothers Sailing Company sail below the Antarctic Circle and indisputably sight Antarctica.

1841: James Clark Ross sails through what is now known as the Ross Sea and discovers Ross Island.

1899: Carsten Borchgrevink and crew build huts and stay through winter on the Antarctic mainland, considered by some to be the first “real landing” on Antarctica.

1907: During the Nimrod Expedition led

by Ernest Shackleton, a land party nearly reaches the South Magnetic Pole, but fails to make it all the way there.

Shackleton and his men set off on a desperate 920-mile journey in 1914.

1911: Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British explorer Robert Falcon Scott mount competing expeditions to the South Pole. Amundsen’s party reaches the pole on December 14, 1911; Scott’s party arrives a month later.

Amundsen and his party return to base camp safely, whereas Scott and his four companions all die before reaching safety.

1914–1917: Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance are trapped after their ship is crushed by ice. Shackleton and a few of his men row a lifeboat 920 miles to a whaling station on South Georgia. From there, he is able to return to Antarctica and rescue the 22 men who had been left behind.

1930s–1940s: Richard E. Byrd leads several voyages to the Antarctic by plane.

1961: The Antarctic Treaty System enters into force, establishing the continent as an international science preserve, establishing freedom and cooperative science investigation, and prohibiting all military activity.

PRESENT: There are around 66 scientific bases in Antarctica, of which about 37 are occupied year-round, the remaining are only open during the summer. There are about 4,000 people there through the summer months and about 1,000 overwinter each year.

SOUTH POLE STATION 1977–1980

WHAT IS AN AURORA? Both of the polar lights occur when electrically charged solar particles, usually from solar winds, and atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere collide with gases like oxygen and nitrogen, causing those gases to emit light. Auroras happen in ovals around the planet’s two magnetic poles, which is why the farther north or south you’re located (auroral zones), the more likely you are to experience one of them. In the Southern Hemisphere it’s called Aurora Australis and in the Northern Hemisphere it’s called Aurora Borealis. There are thousands of individual colors in the aurora, each from the movement of an atom, molecule, or iron moving from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Oxygen gives off the green and red light while nitrogen glows blue and purple.

A HOLE IN THE SKY Magellanica is a fictional story with invented characters; however, it is based on factual events and real science. In 1986, when the play is set, scientists knew that there was a dangerous hole in the ozone layer and were working feverishly to confirm the cause. At the same time, other scientists were beginning to notice climate-related anomalies and growing concerned about the “greenhouse effect.” Although ozone depletion and rising global temperatures are distinctly separate problems, they are both results of mankind’s actions. Magellanica is set in this historical moment when we first began to realize how extensively our choices were changing the planet.

WHAT IS THE ‘HOLE’ IN THE OZONE LAYER?

WHAT IS THE OZONE LAYER? Oxygen molecules (O2) have two oxygen atoms. When either UV rays from the sun or electrical discharges such as lightning strike an O2 molecule, it can separate the two atoms. These single atoms can then bond with an oxygen molecule, creating a new molecule that has three oxygen atoms: ozone (O3). This natural process of producing ozone is reversible, so although it is constantly being created and destroyed, the amount of ozone remains stable. Ozone molecules are most concentrated in the stratosphere (the atmospheric layer roughly 631 miles above the Earth’s surface) but even there, the amounts are miniscule: only about 0.00004%. Oxygen makes up about 21%, and nitrogen 78%, of the atmosphere. Nonetheless, even at such low concentration, ozone provides a vital service to life on Earth by absorbing the sun’s lethal UV rays.

11 | Artists Repertory Theatre

Scientists began measuring the amount of ozone above Antarctica in 1957, and levels stayed relatively stable at around 300 Dobson Units (DU) for the next decade. However, beginning in the 1970s, scientists observed a regular loss of ozone in September/October of each year — a loss that increased year by year. In October 1979, the lowest level measured was 225 DU; by 1994, the level fell to 92 DU, a loss of 70% from what had been measured in the 1960s. The ‘hole’ where the loss is greatest covered an area of 1.09 million square kilometers in 1979, growing to 29.46 million square kilometers in 2006. For comparison, the entire land mass of North America is 25.3 million square kilometers.

WHAT CAUSES IT? In 1974, scientists demonstrated that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are able to catalytically break down ozone in the presence of high frequency UV light. CFCs were created in 1928, as non-toxic, nonflammable refrigerants, and were widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, aerosol sprays, and plastic foams. At peak, about a million tons of CFCs were produced each year. As very stable compounds, CFCs have a very long half life. They can remain in the atmosphere for over 100 years — only breaking down when exposed to UV rays from the sun in the stratosphere.

WHY IS THE ‘HOLE’ OVER ANTARCTICA? The sun sets at the South Pole in April and does not return until September.

With the onset of winter in Antarctica, strong westerly winds are accelerated by the increasing cold, creating a vortex over the region. This wind prevents warmer, ozone-rich air from entering the region, and as the temperature in the lower stratosphere drops to -80°C, Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) begin to form. These clouds provide the surface on which CFC-related chemical reactions occur. During the dark winter months, there is little chemical activity, but when the sun returns, the UV rays striking the clouds and CFCs cause the CFCs to breakdown, releasing chlorine gas molecules that destroy the ozone. This unique combination of wind vortex that isolates the area, super-cooled air that creates PSCs, and CFCs — a compound not found in the natural world — works together to destroy the region’s ozone layer. As the temperature rises with summer, the effect is diminished and the ozone is able to partially restore.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS? A depleted ozone layer allows more UV rays from the sun to enter our part of the atmosphere. The increase in skin cancers and cataracts are significant, documented problems, but we know less about the effects on plant and animal life. There is, however, evidence that phytoplankton and zooplankton — the first links in the aquatic food chain — have a low tolerance to UV radiation. Damage to life at this level could have repercussions throughout our entire biological ecosystem.

WHAT CAN BE DONE? In 1987, the Montreal Protocol, a global treaty to protect the ozone layer by phasing out production and consumption of CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances, was ratified by the United States and 196 other countries. The treaty was the first to achieve universal ratification by all the nations in the world and was remarkable for how quickly it came to pass with only 14 years lapsed between the discovery of CFCs’ impact on ozone and the international agreement to address the problem. It is estimated that by 2050 the hole in the sky will be healed. Like most environmental problems, it will take longer to repair than it did to create, but it demonstrates that with global, collective action, we can avert climatic disaster.

Voice as Musica Universalis in Magellanica By Mary McDonald-Lewis Magellanica lives inside a kind of dark and stormy snow globe. It opens in a small space, stuffs us into an even smaller place and then leaves us, for eight and a half months, in a cramped and cold research station in Antarctica, surrounded by thousands of miles of... nothing.

Solitude and isolation are our bedfellows here, with strangers made stranger over clashing cultures, passions and pursuits.

Our snow globe is a Tower of Babel, too. Words obscure instead of clarify, languages confuse. These trapped women and men are Russian, Ukrainian, British, American, Norwegian, Chinese, and “a little of this and a little of that.” They are devoted to their sciences and seeking to both stay hidden, and to be found.

They use more than words to tell their tales: their voices sing in their bodies, emanating from their chest or gut; are caught in their throat or spill out in wrenching confession.

As resident artist, voice and text director at Artists Rep, my job on any play is to create a spoken landscape that amplifies the inner and outer worlds of the people in it. So I begin with our speakers and their sounds much like a composer does with her score. Who is our shadowed and secret instrument, who is high and elusive? How do the voices move from chorale to cadenza and back again?

How do the contrapuntal harmonies create tension, break and resolve?

With Magellanica, first the characters started to tell me a

13 | Artists Repertory Theatre

bit about themselves.

Then Dámaso, our director, added his vision, and the actors brought their characters’ back stories, inner worlds, desires and trials.

From this comes our composition and our orchestra.

Now comes the conducting. As with our scientists in the research station, we first work alone, my actors and me. We explore the character: their heart, their scars, their virtues and sins. We let a voice emerge, slowly, that speaks to that person’s soul.

That is as authentic as their walk, as organic as their temper. And gently, very gently, we tend that voice, and help it grow. I bear all the characters in mind as we work, so that when each actor returns to the rehearsal hall and rejoins the story, the sound of these voices swells to a musica universalis: the music of the spheres — eternal, connective, balanced, true.

When I think of that little snow globe, a dim light in the vast white, it doesn’t seem small, or cramped, when I recall the stories inside it. Above it is the Aurora Australis, and beyond those Southern Lights, the stars and planets whirl on and on.

LUAN SCHOOLER Dramaturg Luan Schooler was born in West Texas, where she trailed her big sister into dance classes and community theatre. When she was 12, the family packed up and moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where play practice and recitals continued to consume her.

After being kicked out of high school, she was eventually accepted into the theatre program at CalArts. One thing led to another and a life in theatre was launched.

Over the years, she morphed from acting, directing and writing, into dramaturgy and literary management. She has worked with many theatres around the country, most notably with Perseverance Theatre in Juneau, Alaska (where she met and married the marvelous Tim), Denver Center Theatre Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Berkeley Rep, and developed new plays with exceptional artists including David Edgar, Naomi Iizuka, Salman Rushdie, Dominique Serrand, Leon Ingulsrud, Lisa Peterson, Paula Vogel and Molly Smith. In the Mid-Aughts, she took a sabbatical from theatre to open a cheese shop, but happily left it behind to return to theatre. In 2015, she joined Artists Rep to launch Table|Room|Stage, the theatre’s new play development program. Here, she is developing work with Yussef El Guindi, Larissa FastHorse, Andrea Stolowitz, Linda Alper, Dael Orlandersmith, Hansol Jung, Steve Rathje, Anthony Hudson and Susannah Mars. She also does production dramaturgy on most of Artists Rep’s shows, and keeps her thumb in a variety of other pies (including working with Lisa Peterson on her translation of Hamlet for Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! Project).

MARY MCDONALD-LEWIS Voice & Text Director Mary McDonald-Lewis has been a professional artist since 1979. She resides in Portland, Oregon, and is an international dialect coach for film, television and stage.

She also works as a voice actor, on-camera actor, stage actor and director. Magellanica is MaryMac’s 32nd show with Artists Rep. You can hear her work at Portland Center Stage, where she is also resident dialect coach, and on other stages around town.

She is deeply grateful to the patrons and audience members of Artists Rep, whose support allows the theatre to provide her services to the actors. She holds her MFA in Directing from the University of Portland.

MaryMac loves what she does, and she thanks Finnegan, Sullivan and Flynn for always wagging their tails when she comes home. www.marymac.com
