IN THE PENAL COLONY
About The Show
IN THE PENAL COLONY, adapted from Franz Kafka's short story of the same name, investigates the performance of power, patriarchy and punishment. Three black men convene on an unnamed penal colony and challenge the presumptions of the worth of a human body, asking what does it mean for black male bodies to exist: in the media, when observed, when consumed, when punished.
The shows on Saturday, September 8, and Thursday, September 13 will include a post-show talk back, cash wine & beer bar, and popcorn.
