"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." [Declaration of Independence, T. Jefferson]

"Apollo is the God of Light, and thus, the God of Truth. He is a direct link between gods and humans, guiding humans to know the divine will, showing them how to make peace with the gods; the purifier, too, able to cleanse even those stained with the blood of their kindred." [Edith Hamilton]

A multi-disciplinary performance piece, Apollo [Part 2]: Dark Side of the Moon, takes as its subject the intersection of the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War Space Race, situating two unique and powerful forms of liberation in the same zip code, in the same decade. From this convergence explodes an epic narrative of America. The story, as I want to tell it, has a broad historical and geographic scope, ranging from the U.S. Civil War and 19th century France [Jules Verne and his stories] to Nazi Germany, to the American South of the 1960s, provoking difficult questions about the moral cost of human progress, and the nation we intended to be and the nation we have become.
