Join us for an evening of theater and dialogue as artist Viktor le. Givens hosts an intimate table reading of his ancestral ethnographic stage production Revival. More than entertainment theater - Revival is written with intentions of stirring inquiry and engagement from the audience on topics pertaining to heirs property, legacy keeping and succession plans subject areas greatly impacting African American preservation practices. The work wi l be aimed at engaging its audience in what author Toni Morrison coins as “rememories.” Morrison defines rememory as the act of remembering a memory and the continued presence of that which has disappeared or been forgotten. Revival is rooted in Givens' extensive ethnographic and folkloric research over the past decade both in the American South and among multiple nodes of the Black Atlantic.  It is born from an extended archival excavation project investigating the material culture and folk customs of the artist's own ancestors and his ancestral lands in rural East Texas.
