Reseña del libro "Lucy Negro, Redux: The Bard, a Book, and a Ballet (en Inglés)"

"Part lyrical narrative, part bluesy riff, part schoolyard chant and part holy incantation" New York TimesLucy Negro, Redux, uses the lens of Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" sonnets to explore the way questions about and desire for the black female body have evolved over time, from Elizabethan England to the Jim Crow South to the present day. Equally interested in the sensual and the serious, the erotic and the academic, this collection experiments with form, dialect, persona, and voice. Ultimately a hybrid document, Lucy Negro Redux harnesses blues poetry, deconstructed sonnets, historical documents and lyric essays to tell the challenging, many-faceted story of the Dark Lady, her Shakespeare, and their real and imagined milieu. Inspired by the book, The Nashville Ballet will premiere Lucy Negro Redux, an original ballet conceived and choreographed by Artistic Director & CEO, Paul Vasterling, in February 2019 at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. A collaboration of music, poetry and choreography, this contemporary ballet based on Caroline Randall Williams book of poetry of the same name is unique in process, content and format. The project uses dance and music to execute the authors exploration of more than 160 of Shakespeares sonnets, and her arrival to a thesis that the Dark Lady and the Fair Youththe subjects and inspiration of these sonnetswere undoubtedly a black woman and a young man lover. Ultimately, in experiencing Lucy through themes of love, otherness and equality, the narrator, and thus the audience, finds a powerful female voice.
