Part tribunal of evidence — guided and constrained by the statutory powers of the “Interrogator” — and part ritualistic psychodynamic investigation of a sovereign polity toward emotional and restorative justice involving a collective of accused citizenry. This new multimedia performance in development by Carl Hancock Rux, with dramaturgy by Jocelyn Clarke, creates a philosophical convening of characters engaged in a recalling of crimes against humanity and its effect on their personal, historical and psychological development – as they endeavor to unlearn the language and varying rituals of whiteness – a narrative that centers white people, particularly white men, no matter the deadly cost and consequence to all women and to global Black and Brown people.
