Citizen听is an urgent, boundary-crossing work of prose, poetry, and visual imagery written by groundbreaking American poet, Claudia Rankine. The stage adaptation stayed true to the text and examined the ways racism pervades daily life in America, from highly visible news accounts to the daily microaggressions that render certain citizens invisible in our culture.听The performance engaged in a powerful and poetic way some of the micro and macro ways racism accumulates in the body.听

We held multiple post-show talkbacks to give audiences a space to talk together about their reactions after the performance.

There was also a pre-show event showcasing the poetry performances of Samiya Bashir鈥檚 class,听"Poetry in and through Performance,鈥 which drew on oral,听lyrical, musical, dramaturgical, and听(post)modern traditions, exploring approaches to poetry in performance.
