Connecticut Repertory Theatre presents

Food for the Gods

Written and Directed by Nehprii Amenii

December 2-12, 2021

Nafe Katter Theatre

Food for the Gods is a multimedia performance installation about “human value.” A three-part expression of rage, indifference, and celestial knowing. Inspired by the killings of Black men, this work uses object and puppet performance to explore dehumanization, light, invisibility and well…the magical-less-ness of it all. This production will be performed by an ensemble of student actors.

RUNNING TIME: 1 hour 10 minutes. There is no intermission.
