Produktbeschreibung
As the curtain rises on Will Alexander's adroit panAfrican pageant, courtiers puzzle, stew and snipe over the central mystery of their existence-- the absence of King Asoka. Where is he? Can mere ministers of war decide, or do the eerie signals demand the counsel of the Magicians? What is he doing, what does he intend? Is intention still on the table? So the old ways play themselves out, but on Asoka's return a table of glittering galaxies play themselves out like cards from the future. Like Lorraine Hansberry's Black Arts Movement era masterpiece Les Blancs, Alexander's At Night on the Sun presents a planet's struggle for selfdetermination as an occasion for both joy and fear. It is a work of art for our age and for ages yet to come.
