Presented in three chapters, the visual, sonic opera, draws on historical documents from 1619 through to abolition to explore the Black experience of slavery featuring an immersive chorus of voices rhythmically reciting auction blocks, fugitive ads and “Information Wanted” notices. Through narrating the practices of slavery, the original work unearths the journey of Black people in America and creates a space of reclamation and healing.
