Race Card
Playwright/performer Karma Mayetshares stories of Americas tortured relationship to race both personal and historical set within the frame of a game of Bid Whist with the audience. With a winning card guiding the choice of story, on any given night she may summon her own experiences moving from Chicago to an all-white town in Illinois, widening to passed-down tales of the Great Migration and the Pullman Porters, smack up against her own current experiences navigating New York microagressions. In this participatory piece, Mayet creates a wonderland of playful intellect, inhabited by humor that bites and characters that speak in twisted tongues. Race Cardunpacks the musty traveling papers stuffed into the 21st century's history bags, and rifles through the audiences very own drawers as well, calling on them to join the fray of stage play with both cued and improvised live-ness at every turn.
