In connection with the annual Curran Symposium this year on Byron, "Performing Politics," the K-SAA received funding for a live performance of Byron's Sardanapalus as well as for watch parties around the world.  It's a very exciting moment. So far, we have watch parties happening in Messolonghi, Thessaloniki, Buenos Aires, Malta, Barcelona, London, Oxford, Tokyo, Namibia, Pretoria, Nigeria, Hong Kong, Santiago, Warsaw, Shanghai (and Melbourne soon), and now we have it here at NCCU, Taipei Taiwan!
