  • Lobby Experience

    Lobby Experience

    CHICAGO PREMIERE by JAMES IJAMES directed by WARDELL JULIUS CLARK LOBBY EXPERIENCE SAY THEIR NAMES The 137 names on this wall represent the “List of the Fallen” a remembrance of Black people living in the United States who have been killed by police or other law enforcement officers in the past 20 years. In Kill Move Paradise, Isa reads these names from an ever-expanding list, one spit out from a printer, one name at a time, growing longer and longer over the course of the play. The people on this wall—sons and daughters, parents and grandparents, educators and scholars, athletes and artists, senior citizens and children—are by no means a complete documentation of the deaths of Black people at the hands of police officers over the course of the past two decades. In fact, according to a Washington Post-curated police-shooting database that records and analyze every fatal shooting by an on-duty police officer in the United States, in 2019 alone, at least 235 Black people lost their lives due to this type of systemic violence at the hands of the police. Rather than paint a complete picture, these names represent just a small sampling of the loss of Black life, meant to remind us of the vastness of this epidemic. The List of the Fallen was initially crafted by playwright James Ijames while writing the play, and, with his encouragement, added to by the production team during the rehearsal process in an attempt to reflect the continued violence experienced by Black bodies since the publishing of the script.

After 1964, in several communi- ties, the boycott of White-owned commerce became the primary tactic uti- lized by human rights forces to disrupt the system of segregation. These boycotts relied upon paramilitary organization to protect the activities and leadership of the Mississippi freedom movement and the Black community in general and to sanction anyone in the Black community who wished to violate the boycott. This paradigm of economic boycotts supported by para- military organization was first utilized in 1965 in Natchez. Natchez is a commercial center in southwest Mississippi. The combination of economic boycott with armed resistance posed an effective coercive campaign to pressure the local White power structure for concessions demanded by the movement.
