Brava and BACCE present So Soul San Francisco: Black Art Salon Series
High Crimes and Misdemeanors
An explosion of theatrical mayhem
Join BACCE and friends as we eat, drink, party and explore theatrical texts that have been banned or deemed difficult, dangerous or highly controversial. Centered around excerpts from Robert O'Hara's prescient political satire, An American Ma(u)l (to be produced by BACCE at Brava this fall), the evening will include scenes and text from other dangerous plays and playwrights including works by the late Congolese writer Sony Labou Tansi, Thomas Bradshaw (Tommy and Sally), Wole Soyinka, and excerpts from the play, Homegrown by Omar El Khairy which was banned in the UK in 2016.
We invite you to join the discussion on theatre and controversy, as we examine: What is controversy in theatre now versus in the past? What does race and ethnicity have to do with what is deemed difficult or dangerous? how does who is in the audience change what is allowed? And questions you may have surrounding theatre and censorship.
Discussion will be surrounded and encouraged by food, drink and a live DJ!
