Atlantic will present readings of full-length plays by Diane Exavier, Daaimah Mubashshir, NSangou Njikam, and a.k. payne. Additionally, Atlantic Theater Company has commissioned Dennis A. Allen II, Keelay Gipson, Amina Henry, Goldie E. Patrick, and Liza Jessie Peterson to create short one-acts and present them as an evening of readings.
Co-Curator and playwright Daaimah Mubashshir states, “For two hundred years Theater of the African Diaspora have expanded a communal ritualistic tradition for the purpose of witnessing, revitalization and persisting in the quest for freedom. These works embody multitudes of experiences, and political viewpoints, thus eschewing reification of Blackness in content and form. In MixFest 2023, we will showcase a set of theater works that demonstrates the multiplicity of Theater of the African Diaspora.â€
