Inspired by the Black queer revolutionaries of the #blacklivesmatter movement, Seeds is a tale of survival, mental illness, addiction, and resilience. The intentions behind this project are to expose audience members to the myriad of ways Black, queer people navigate their personal lives and mental health while experiencing oppression and fighting injustices afflicting both the Black and Queer communities. Set in the present day culture of fighting against state violence, Seeds tells the story of D, a Black, queer masculine-of-center woman who is pulled into activism after seeing her best friend murdered by police. Although she experiences the turmoil of fighting for justice while battling oppression because of her identity, the seeds she plants for Black liberation grow stronger because of her perseverance. A 90-minute multimedia theater performance, Seeds integrates video, dance, drag, and theater performance to create an immersive and visually appealing production and audience experience.
Discipline: Theater/Performing Arts
