Hood College will be showcasing two one-act performances as part of the Hood College Humanities Colloquium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each act will explore \u201cunique and compelling perspectives of being Black in America,\u201d said William Allen, philosophy and religious studies professor, in a school-wide email announcing the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first of the two pieces, \u201cLegacies\u201d is written and performed by Amontaine Aurore, a Seattle-based writer, actor, director and author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his email, Allen described Aurore\u2019s piece as an \u201cexploration of historical legacies of trauma, and the dismantling of metaphorical houses of anger and rage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second of the two pieces, \u201cKenju-Do It\u201d is written and performed by Kenju Waweru, a filmmaker also based in Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allen described Waweru\u2019s piece as \u201ca humorous, raw, and authentic reflection on race based upon Kenju\u2019s personal experience as an immigrant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two acts will be performed in the Hodson Auditorium in Rosenstock on Tuesday, April 19 at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
