Shadow/Land

Premiering as an audio play at the Public, 2021 Susan Blackburn Prize winner Erika Dickerson-Despenza’s Shadow/Land returns  with a stunning live production. As Hurricane Katrina begins her ruin, tensions between duty and desire surface, a levee is brought to its knees, and Ruth must wrestle with all that she’s ready to let go. Shadow/Land is a lyrical meditation on legacy, erotic fugitivity, and self-determination.
