SECRET:
JOSEPHINE BAKER |
 |

| SECRET
is a multimedia theatrical production that details the collision of
three fascinating historical characters. It tells a little-known story
of art, politics, race, and media power that reverberates with some
of the most important themes of 20th-century America. It explores why
this story has remained a “secret,” and suggests the consequences
of such incomplete knowledge for American society. The story is culled
from thousands of pages of the FBI files of Josephine Baker, Walter
Winchell, and J. Edgar Hoover. Fashioned out of “net accessible”
documents, this mosaic makes theater and art out of a 1950’s surveillance
data bank. www.secretbaker.com |
