Yale Repertory Theatre Presents WHAT REMAINS

Yale Repertory Theatre (James Bundy, Artistic Director; Victoria Nolan, Managing Director) will present What Remains, with direction and choreography by Will Rawls and text by Claudia Rankine, February 14-16 at 8PM at the Iseman Theater (1156 Chapel Street) as part of its annual NO BOUNDARIES performance series.

The production, produced by Live Arts Bard, features production design by David Szlasa, costume design by Eleanor O'Connell, and sound design by Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste. John Lucas serves as creative consultant. It was created in collaboration with and is performed by Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, Leslie Cuyjet, Jessica Pretty, and Tara Aisha Willis.

Bessie Award-winning choreographer Will Rawls and best-selling poet and MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Claudia Rankine team up for a unique live performance. Layered with poetry, dance, and music, What Remains exposes society's role in the disturbance and murder of its black citizens and responds with a resonant, ghostly chorus.

What Remains was commissioned and developed by Live Arts Bard at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, where it received its world premiere in April, 2017, with additional commissioning support from the American Repertory Theater, Yale Repertory Theatre, and the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)'s Crossing the Line Festival.

What Remains runs approximately 60 minutes and is performed without intermission.

TALK BACKS will be held immediately following each performance.
