SUMMARY:Performance:Day of Absence
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to attend this semester’s Faculty Studio Production\, *Day of Absence* written by Douglas Turner Ward and directed by Antonio Disla.\n\nThis production reinterprets Douglas Turner Ward's 1965 satire through the lens of cyclical time\, showing that social progress is not always linear or assured. By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Performance:She Loves Me at the Encore
