3 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON
ABOUT THE PLAY
By Katherine Monberg, Literary Associate
Disgraced premiered at Chicago’s American Theater Company before moving on to Lincoln Center Theater in 2012, a vibrant playwriting debut for multi-talented playwright Ayad Akhtar, whose voice as a novelist, screenwriter and actor has been hailed as “a generous new voice in American fiction.”
Born in New York City to Pakistani immigrants and raised in Milwaukee, Akhtar speaks to the multiple identities forged in and by the modern American melting pot, and the innumerable facets of Playwright Ayad Akhtar. assumption, judgment, self-deception, and acceptance that underscore the contemporary social fabric of America. In Akhtar’s own words, “There are ways that the colonial history of the West is still playing out in the Muslim world. The events that comprise that history – a disgrace of native peoples – is still very much a part of our contemporary moment.” Akhtar identifies true and transparent engagement with the world as the crux of his narrative, seeking the “full engagement of the emotional and intellectual self” to provide the final necessary component to the “vital, living, tragic situation” that plays out in real time on the stage.
Akhtar cites his own experiences growing up and navigating the complex identity politics of America as a spark of inspiration behind his writing: “In my early 30s, I started to realize I was avoiding something on a personal level, but also as a writer. I was in denial about who I was, and was trying to be someone I was not.” This journey of his own self-discovery led him to a new artistic understanding, one in which art is about engaging with the world around us rather than an abstract quest for self-expression. “All I did metaphorically was to turn and look over my shoulder at what I was running away from.”
Also central to that self-knowledge were the events of September 11th and its immediate cultural aftermath. “Post-9/11, folks who looked like me became very visible,” says Akhtar. “Life changed. I and a lot of people like me felt differently after that. Like Amir, the fact of being Muslim, whether religious or cultural, became a significant fact that could not be avoided.”

ABOUT THE PLAY
Though conscious of the social and political forces that interweave within Disgraced, Akhtar also posits a determined awareness and aversion to sermonizing: “I can’t be a spokesman for anything other than my own concerns…and if I’m bringing any political awareness to that process, that mitigates my freedom” and detracts from the audience experience in which lies the power and impact of the piece. While the show illuminates traditions of representation and certain Islamophobic tropes, the sense of shared humanity is the heart and soul of the experience: the opportunity to share in complex perspectives that mirror the observable world.
Akhtar identifies that mirror function as integral to the narrative and theatrical process: “One of the things that’s problematic to a lot of people is that some readings of the play seem to undermine other readings. My contention is that your reading of this play tells you a lot about yourself” and your place within the ongoing cultural and social dialogue. “It makes perfect sense to me that people would gravitate to whatever reading is going to help them. But ultimately it doesn’t really matter,” because there is a space for awareness, and conversation, that has been opened. According to Akhtar, “Art’s capacity to change the world is profoundly limited. But what it can do is change the way we see things individually” and “that kind of clear-eyed approach to reality is something for which I’m hoping the play can be a portal.”
Bonnard: Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French painter and printmaker, and a founding member of Les Nabis, a Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters. He preferred to create from memory, and his paintings are often described as having unusual vantage points, a dreamlike quality and featuring intimate domestic scenes.
Constable: John Constable (1776-1837) was an English Romantic painter, known particularly for his landscape paintings of “Constable County,” officially known as Dedham Vale. His work was especially prominent in France, where his work inspired the Barbizon school of painters.
Frieze Art Fair: An annual international contemporary art fair, established in 2003, and held in London’s Regent Park every October.
Jerry Saltz: American art critic, Jerry Saltz (1951- ) was formerly the senior art critic for The Village Voice and has served since 2006 as senior art critic and columnist for New York Magazine. To date, he has received three nominations for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism.

ABOUT THE PLAY
Matisse: Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a French artist, particularly known for his paintings and his use of color and fluid draughtsmanship, though he was also a notable printmaker and sculptor. His expressive style spanned fauvism, modernism and impressionism, and he is commonly regarded as one of the three artists to lend definition to the plastic arts at the beginning of the 20th century (along with Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp). Matisse is recognized as one of the greatest figures to influence modern art. The Met: New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the most-visited museums in the world and the largest art museum in the United States. Portrait of Juan de Pareja: Painting by Diego Velázquez (c. 1650) that depicts his assistant, painter Juan de Pareja. Juan de Pareja was born into slavery in Antequera, near Málaga, Spain, son to a slave and a Spanish father. He worked in Velazquez’s household and workshop until Velazquez’s death in 1660, ten years after he freed Pareja from slavery. Pareja then became assistant to painter Juan del Mazo until his own death in 1670. Renaissance: European period from the 14th to the 17th century that began in Italy in the Late Medieval period, largely considered to have functioned as a bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history. The Renaissance introduced an intellectual focus on humanism, and applied new thinking to art, architecture, politics, science and literature.
Velázquez’s Portrait of Juan de Pareja (c. 1650). Artistically, linear perspective was developed during this period, in addition to techniques that achieved a more natural representation of reality than in previous eras. The Renaissance also contributed to scientific reliance on observation, the development of diplomacy, and a resurgence of learning philosophies derived from classical sources.

Velázquez was known as an individualist of the Baroque period. In addition to his paintings depicting scenes of historical and cultural value, he was also a notable portrait artist, known for his many portraits of the Spanish royal family and notable European figures. Velazquez is often referred to as one of the greatest influencers of modern painting; his seminal masterpiece, Las Meninas, is largely considered one of the most important works in Western art history.

THEATRE INFORMATION
THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC AND ART The Temple of Music and Art is a beautifully refurbished 1927 theatre, built in the Spanish Colonial style that flavors so much of our city. ATC has identified the following services and policies to ensure your comfort and enhance your experience at the theatre.
THEATRE POLICIES Latecomers will be seated only at an appropriate and predetermined break in action. In order not to disturb patrons who are already enjoying the performance, latecomers may be seated in alternate locations until intermission. As a courtesy to our patrons and the actors, the use of cameras and recording devices is not permitted within the theatre. Please restrict cellular phone use to the courtyard only. Children under five are not permitted in the theatre during performances. Emergency calls may also be made to the House Manager’s direct line: 520-884-4868. Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the building. Designated smoking areas are located in the front of the theatre only. In the event of smoking onstage, a sign will be posted in the lobby.
SPECIAL SERVICES The theatre is equipped with an in-house infrared transmission system for use by patrons with partial hearing loss or limited range of hearing. Complimentary assisted listening headsets are available prior to every performance at the Box Office. Please be prepared to leave a driver’s license or other form of identification while using your headset. Every production is available in American Sign Language. For information on the dates of our ASL performances, please contact the Box Office. An in-house FM broadcast system is used to provide a running audio description of the movement and activities onstage for patrons with limited vision. Pre-show tactile tours of the backstage area and a pre-show narration about our building, the performers, and interpretive information about the play itself are available upon request. Contact the Box Office to make your reservation for the audio described performances. Coordinated with the action onstage, those in open-captioned seating will be able to read the play’s dialogue displayed in large green letters on an LED screen. For open-captioned performance dates, contact the Box Office. Large print and Braille playbills are available for all performances in the House Manager’s office in the lobby of the theatre. Accessible seating is available via the Box Office for all performances. If you would like seating assistance at the theatre, please contact the House Manager at 520-884-4868.
