A Bessie Award-winner for Outstanding Production and Visual Design, Memoirs of a…Unicorn is a solo performed, non-linear installation that weaves sound and media to offer historic and personal narratives as embodied tales of fragmented histories, unabated love, and Warriorship. Spurred by stories of Marjani Forté-Saunders’ Arkansas born Father’s life, Forté-Saunders explores the tenets of his identity while riffing in the wound of its creation story. (newyorklivearts.org)
