The Lehman College Department of Music, Multimedia, Theatre & Dance presents

Kenopsia: A fairy tale for the apocalypse

Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Nov. 21

7 p.m.

Show will be followed by a conversation with the cast.

Description:

Kenopsia is a word, coined by John Koening, from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. It describes "the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet." This theme served as a starting point for a devised piece created collaboratively with the cast and designers. The story is told through a variety of mediums including movement, text, costumes, sound, and images. Through a process of improvisation and collaboration, performers have created characters and content drawn from archetypal imagery and their own imaginations.

Conceived and directed by Amy Larimer

Written by Natasha Collado, Carolyn Gutierrez, Amy Larimer, Bereket Mengistu, Ryan Mercedes, Frank Moncion, Zullyvette Muniz, Bethany Rondon, Leonardo Salome, Kassandra Sustache and Jaciaihus Watson

Lehman College's Leonard Lief Library is partnering with the New York City Human Library [https://www.humanlibrarynyc.org/] for an online Human Library event:

• Sunday, January 24, 2021
• 2:00 - 4:00 PM
• Zoom

What is the Human Library?
The Human Library is an organization that began in Denmark in 2000 and now has chapters [called Depots] all over the world.  In a Human Library, real people are “Books” on loan to Readers, giving Readers the opportunity to listen to their stories first-hand. 

Human Library NYC public events break down social barriers by providing a safe platform for individuals to challenge their own stereotypes and prejudices.

If you would like to register to be a Book or a Reader - please fill out this Interest Form:

What is a Book in the Human Library?

A Book is a volunteer who represents a stigmatized group, willing to share their story, and help challenge what is being shared and understood about their topic.

What is a Reader?

A Reader is curious about the Book, can ask questions of the Book, and is respectful of the Book they are reading.

Your Story is Important.

Throughout Black History Month, One Book One Bronx, in collaboration with the Leonard Lief Library at Lehman College, will host a series of eclectic programs and reading groups as part of the yearlong initiative Lift Every Voice: Why African American Poetry Matters. Sponsored by the Library of America and The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Lift Every Voice seeks to engage participants in a multifaceted exploration of African American poetry. 

Join us on Tuesdays in February for a three-part discussion of Olio by Tyehimba Jess, winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize. Part fact, part fiction, the book weaves sonnet, song, and narrative to examine the lives of mostly unrecorded African-American performers directly before and after the Civil War up to World War I.

Presented by Eve Eure, assistant professor, Department of English \ School of Arts and Humanities Lehman College

Thursday, February 4, 2:00 p.m.

Professor Eure will discuss Harriet Jacobs’s slave narrative, the first book-length fugitive slave narrative to be published by a black woman in the United States. Focusing on how Jacobs navigates the legal and social enclosures of slavery, Professor Eure explores how Jacobs’s text opens possibilities for rethinking notions of kinship, kinlessness, and Black fugitivity.

I. Augustus Durham, assistant professor, Department of English School of Arts and Humanities, Lehman College

Tuesday Feb. 16, 2-3 p.m.

In the wake of his 200th birthday, Frederick Douglass has sustained cultural relevance in manners that exceed his life as a writer and abolitionist. In "The Nine Lives of Frederick Douglass," Durham examines Douglass as a living multiplicity, and how our imaginations continue to grasp at all that he was, is, and presumably will be.
