In the Shadow of Tragedy: Artistic Responses to a Traumatic Year will be presented via Zoom and on Facebook LIVE on Thursday, May 27th at 7 pm as the final event of Elm Shakespeare Company s free, online series, Building a Brave New Theater: Holding Space and Giving Voice.
Join theatre-makers Rebecca S manga Frank, Dawn Stern, and Gracy Brown to share and discuss three new works. All works presented this evening were created in response to the multiple national tragedies of the past year, including the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the many lives lost to Covid-19, the closure of theatres, the newly energized fight for equity, and the adjustments made to survive a pandemic.
“Building a Brave New Theater: Exploring Shakespeare & Race in 2020″ is a new free online discussion series devoted to issues facing black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC). The series is presented by New Haven’s Elm Shakespeare Company.
