A Graveyard Duet of the Past Now serves as a site of intervention into prominent and powerful articulations of national identity, expressed through overt hostility to access; that is, access to natural, medical, social and civic resources. A Graveyard Duet of the Past Now asks: How do we care for one another? What alternative models of security might rival the call to build walls or to secure national boundaries through force? What would taking custody of one another look like without a carceral insistence? T. Lang Dance enacts its response through an afro-futurist montage of movement, projection mapping technology, and live audio score showcasing the work of a time-traveling, shining descendant of Ra. Audiences witness the literal rearrangement of a series of dramatic images depicting our nation’s painful past of active racism, sexism, and homophobia, a powerful gesture of the restoration she aims for us to achieve. This hopeful work generates a relief of no longer being daunted by portraits of who we have been, for the sake of healing.
