About this Event
Join Gabrielle Civil as she activates her latest black feminist performance memoir the déjà vu with flashbacks and premonitions: black dreams & black time. Incorporating reading and storytelling, movement and moving images, the déjà vu--live will blur boundaries between the page and the stage, embodying memory, grief, and love; then and now.
