No Boundaries series features Yale poetry professor
Yale Rep’s 2018–19 No Boundaries performance series began in December with Wet: A DACAmented Journey, written and performed by Alex Alpharaoh and directed by Brisa Muñoz, which chronicles Anner Cividanis’s life as an undocumented American in Los Angeles. The annual series continues February 14–16 with What Remains, a unique live performance featuring direction and choreography by Bessie Award winner Will Rawls and text by Yale’s Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry and MacArthur Fellow, Claudia Rankine. Commissioned and developed by Live Arts Bard at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, with additional commissioning support from the American Repertory Theater, Yale Repertory Theatre, and the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)’s Crossing the Line Festival, What Remains exposes society’s role in the disturbance and murder of its black citizens and responds with a resonant, ghostly chorus.
