| From June 23 to 25, the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) presents KLII, the new work from award-winning theater maker Kaneza Schaal. Â KLII exorcises the ghost of Belgiumâs King Leopold II through mytho-biographical performance. Designed and codirected by Christopher Myers, KLII draws on Mark Twainâs King Leopoldâs Soliloquy (1905), a fictional monologue written after Twainâs visit to the Congo Free State, and Patrice Lumumbaâs 1960 independence speech in the Congo. Â Increasingly our demons are invisibleâlong-hidden racism and misogyny, misinformation, even the virus. How do we handle these threats, which are as central to our everyday life as they are hidden? Schaal and Myers propose an exorcism in theater, starring one of the villains of the 19th century whose actions resonate through the present day. Â BUY TICKETS HERE |
