Layering theater, dance, spoken word, and an original score inspired by Hip Hop, Klezmer, and Mexican folk music, Amnesia tells the story of a young man who retraces his family’s migration from a small Jewish village in Eastern Europe through New York’s Lower East Side to Phoenix, Arizona, only to find that the identity-based violence his family fled cannot be so easily forgotten. Performed by poet, playwright, performer, and scholar, Ariel Luckey, this one-person show raises awareness about many of the injustices surrounding race and immigration, both historically and in today’s United States, and how they relate to each one of us.
This Swig Program in Jewish Studies and Social Justice event is co-sponsored by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Center for Latino Studies in the Americas (CELASA), and Program in Performing Arts and Social Justice.
