The Pla[y/n] for Reparation$

Description

The Pla[y/n] for Reparation$ is an interactive performance inviting participants to learn about, discuss, envision, and practice individual and collective healing. Upon arrival, audience members encounter a series of Yes/No questions—a branching decision-tree structure that guides each person into different participant groups based on identity, opinion, and willingness to engage.

This consent-driven design gives audiences agency in determining the depth and direction of their experience. The work draws structural and conceptual guidance from the California Reparations Report, grounding the evening in historical facts and reparative possibilities at the policy level. These December previews focus on three of the report’s twelve topics:

HOUSING – Housing Segregation

ENVIRONMENT – Racism in Environment and Infrastructure

WELLNESS – Mental and Physical Harm and Neglect

The full work is slated to premiere in 2027, with additional chapters—Education, Healthy Families, Labor & Opportunity, and The Wealth Gap—to be developed next in 2026.
