The Pla{y/n} for Reparation$ is an interactive performance inviting participants to learn about, discuss, envision, and practice individual and collective healing. Upon arrival, audience members encounter a series of yes/no questions--a branching decision-tree structure that guides each person into different participant groups based on identity, opinion, and willingness to engage. This consent-driven design gives audiences agency in determining the depth and direction of their experience. The work draws structural and conceptual guidance from the California Reparations Report, grounding the evening in historical facts and reparative possibilities at the policy level.
