Constellations
October 7, 2016, 8:00 PM
Constellations is a multimedia theater piece by Alexis Atkinson ’15 that aims to reflect and track the psychological and emotional development of a young black female. The one-woman play utilizes different modes of storytelling — prose, narrative anecdote, spoken word, and poetry — to explore the depth of how one can experience marginalization. An unnamed Lead takes the audience on a tour through the Garden of Dreams, a holding space for unrealized aspirations and the unresolved past. The piece travels through time and space to capture wrestling with identity politics throughout crucial moments of development and self-discovery.
Presented in partnership with the Pugh Center, College and Student Advancement, and the Center for the Arts and Humanities.
