Premiering as an audio play at The Public Theater, 2021 Susan Blackburn Prize winner Erika Dickerson-Despenza’s shadow/land returns in Spring 2023 with a stunning live production.
As Hurricane Katrina begins her ruin, tensions between duty and desire surface, a levee is brought to its knees, and Ruth must wrestle with all that she’s ready to let go. shadow/land is a lyrical meditation on legacy, erotic fugitivity, and self-determination.
