Fractured Memory

T288093983
How do you deal with an inherited history that is full of complexity? Theatre maker Ogutu Muraya reimagines James Baldwin's Princes and Powers, an essay which describes in great detail a congress of Afro-intellectuals, writers, artists, philosophers and theorists, at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1956. Weaving together literary text, video and storytelling, the performance embraces a multiplicity of perspectives, historical archive materials and personal experience. Examining the legacy of the congress, the performance shifts perspectives, seeking a new vocabulary for dealing with uncomfortable truths.
