MN Wild vs. Colorado, Xcel Center, 7pm.
The Dutchman and the Owl Answers opens, Penumbra, thru March
27. Two groundbreaking plays, one stage. In one night we present some of the
finest work from the man dubbed “the father of the Black Arts Movement” and the
woman ostracized as she took up nonlinear forms that challenged tradition.
While one playwright reveals the absurdity of structural racism by evoking a
nautical ghost story, the other uses absurdism to explore internalized racism.
Both bravely traverse the ominous corridors of American history.
