COLORED

Women, Politics, Expressions of Black Freedom

Colored is a one of a kind augmented reality installation at the crossroads of theatre and digital arts.

“Take a deep breath, exhale, you are now in Montgomery in Alabama in the 1950s”: let the French author Tania de Montaigne be your guide. Adapted from her biographical essay published in 2015, winner of the 2015 Simone Veil Prize, Colored brings to life and questions a forgotten page in the history of the civil rights movement in the United States.

This experience plunges the audience into the Deep South during segregation. In the course of that journey, we meet the young Claudette Colvin, 15 years old who, on March 2, 1955, refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Nine months later, Rosa Parks repeated this act of defiance and became the icon that history remembers to this day...
