The Truth And Reconciliation Commission

Written and Produced by ​James Scruggs
Directed by Mark Rayment

​Work in progress online webinar showing March 2024

Picture
The American Truth And Reconciliation Commission 
will be a performative imagining of what a truth and reconciliation commission would look like if The American Experiment itself was put on trial.

These images and video are from a work in progress excerpt shared online strictly to an international virtual audience that participated in this one work in progress event. 

The piece is written to be a truly hybrid work; to be performed with a live audience as well as an online audience, both experiencing and interacting with the actors and responding to the survey questions. The results of the questions will be shared with the audience moments after their voting. The answers that the audience provides greatly affects the piece. 

This work in progress showing was commissioned by HERE Art Center, specifically their URHERE online initiative. It was supported with the generous technical donation of CutltureHub, NYC.
