NEW PLAY WORKSHOP
Director: May Adrales
Dramaturge: Jeff Liu
We still don’t know how to talk about what happened in Los Angeles on April 29, 1992, and it’s a problem. A group of semi-professional young actors (all engaged in some side-hustle to survive) come together briefly to re-enact ‘primal scenes’ from the Los Angeles unrest in 1992 using elements of group psychotherapy. Why don't liberals acknowledge American empire? How do the unseens of empire structure what is visible? We’re just trying to live. To Red Tendons deals with seething anger turned inward, and a desire for reconciliation.
