What to Send Up When It Goes Down

As lines between characters and actors – as well as observers and observed – blur a dizzying series of vignettes builds to a climactic moment in which performance and reality collide highlighting the absurdity of anti-Blackness in our society. Through facilitation and dialogue we must decide how to cope resist and move forward.
