Hood College will be showcasing two one-act performances as part of the Hood College Humanities Colloquium.
Each act will explore “unique and compelling perspectives of being Black in America,” said William Allen, philosophy and religious studies professor, in a school-wide email announcing the show.
The first of the two pieces, “Legacies” is written and performed by Amontaine Aurore, a Seattle-based writer, actor, director and author.
In his email, Allen described Aurore’s piece as an “exploration of historical legacies of trauma, and the dismantling of metaphorical houses of anger and rage.”
The second of the two pieces, “Kenju-Do It” is written and performed by Kenju Waweru, a filmmaker also based in Seattle.
Allen described Waweru’s piece as “a humorous, raw, and authentic reflection on race based upon Kenju’s personal experience as an immigrant.”
These two acts will be performed in the Hodson Auditorium in Rosenstock on Tuesday, April 19 at 6 p.m.
The show is free and open to the public.
