SEPTEMBER 11- 26
TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES 1992
Anna Deavere Smith’s performance piece Twilight: Los Angeles, directed by Tim Rhoze, and featuring Jazzma Pryor tells the story of the “Los Angeles riots” in the aftermath of the 1991 Rodney King beating from a variety of perspectives. She has collected fragments of monologues derived for actual interviews that both invite and provoke conversation. This timely, powerful performance play raises questions about race, power, truth, and justice. It reveals how myths, misinformation, and misunderstanding can lead not only to prejudice and stereotyping but also violence.
