Summary
DANGER/FEAR/ANGER: Blue Man is WOLF to Black Man is an interactive,
multi-media poetic performance. D/F/A investigates the emotions,
desensitization and (in)visibility of the police and victims of police
brutality through monologues, mime, media and music. Blue Man is Wolf to
Black Man plays with ancient Roman Playwright Platus' theory that man is
man's only natural predator. Developed in response to the recent murder of
Trayvon Martin, D/F/A is rooted in the Pedagogy and Theater of the Oppressed
and styled in the Ms. Holder's genre of Shock and Awe with a Political
Aftertaste, D/F/A yearns to "Extinguish the flames of hatred with a flood of
dialog- Daisaku Ikeda (Buddhist philosopher).
