This new dance-theatre performance and exhibition reveals the histories of enslaved and freed people of African descent in Philadelphia during the American colonial era. Dance artist Shayla Vie-Jenkins, playwright Ang(ela) Bey, and director Nia Benjamin develop an evening of performance that blends dance, theatre, music and installation in the attempt to fill the gaps between historical record and our collective imagination. Informed by archival records and new scholarship, this project features an interactive exhibition of visual art, speculative stories and a series of public discussions featuring historians, artists, and archivists.
