AM I DEAD?
The Untrue Narrative of Anatomical Lewis, The Slave
by Kevin R. Free · directed by Heather Cohn
Kevin R. Free’s AM I DEAD? The Untrue Narrative of Anatomical Lewis, The Slave is a re-imagining of the Isis-Osiris myth in which four strangers from different times are trapped in purgatory, tasked with rebuilding the lives of men they wronged in life. It confronts our country’s long history of violence on black bodies, and examines blackness, and whiteness, in unflinching, theatrical, and caustically funny ways. AM I DEAD? is the second play to come out of Flux’s FluxForward program after the Adam Szymkowicz’s Marian earlier this year.
