Kirk Douglas Theatre (Culver City, CA)
A riveting one-woman show about family bonds and the artists that shape us, Dael Orlandersmith’s powerful new work was inspired by her experiences at the famed Père Lachaise Cemetery. The burial grounds of Marcel Proust, Richard Wright, Jim Morrison and many more influential thinkers, Père Lachaise feeds the spirit of this exploratory play where award-winning playwright/performer Orlandersmith delves into her complex emotional and artistic inheritance from an abusive mother. Forever looks at the surprising way we create bonds with those who came before us and how unrelated progenitors can come to feel like family.
