Post-performance discussion on Sat, May 13.
“The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States asserting that any person with even one ancestor of sub-Saharan-African ancestry, "one drop" of black blood, is considered black.”
Wikipedia
ONE DROP is a summoning of ghosts, an autopsy of the Western stage and an operetta. The work dives into the entanglements and relationalities of capitalism, coloniality and modernity
The title of the work refers to the Race Separation Act, created in the United States in the early 1900s, according to which a single drop of “Black blood” made a person “Black” despite their appearance. The one drop rule makes blatantly clear how the concept of race is a construction, a technology made to dehumanize and dominate.
ONE DROP continues Lindfors’ series of works dealing with power, representation and Black body politics.
