Twilight Los Angeles, 1992
February 18, 2010
In Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992, Anna Deavere Smith transformed herself into scores of individuals - using only their words and duplicating their speech patterns, mannerisms, dress and attitudes - in a mosaic set in the violent aftermath of the 1992 Rodney King trial and verdict. These verbatim portrayals bring together adversaries, victims, eyewitnesses and observers who have never stood within the same four walls, let alone spoken to each other - black, white, Asian and Latino. Twilight, performed as an ensemble multimedia piece at UT Dallas, speaks the words and conveys the deeply held sentiments of so many different people, enabling the audience members to hear what they might otherwise discount. Twilight is directed by Venus Opal Reese.
