Highways Performance Space and Gallery (Santa Monica, CA)
In December 1951 the United Nations was presented with a document accusing the United States government of genocide against African-Americans. Titled “We Charge Genocide: The Crime of Government Against the Negro People,” the explosive document cited instances of lynching, legal discrimination and police brutality, making the case that the U.S. was involved in genocide based on the U.N.’s own definition of the term. The charges reverberated around the world, even though they received little attention in the U.S. press. Now a group of artists at Los Angeles’ Highways Performance Space is reviving that text with an evening of experimental narration, using theatre and live instrumentation to ask audiences just how much has changed (or not) in the past 60 years.
