AFAM Studies minor Mya Ison’s play premieres this weekend
Laure, Written by Mya Ison (CFA ’22, minor in African American Studies), Directed by Gigi Juras (CFA ’22)
Laure is a play in response to the painting “Olympia” by Manet (1865), imagining that the Black model, Laure, was not erased from the archive. By adapting themes from the “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde (1890), this play creates a three-dimensional world through its four characters, and engages with agency, gaze, and the power of the erotic.
