From a staged reading at the 2017 San Francisco Olympians Festival to EXIT Theatre's mainstage, the development of Jason Mendez' Supremacy is one we're especially proud of. Inspired in part by Horus, the Egyptian god of the sky, in part by well-publicized incidences of police violence towards young men of color, and in part by the varying public responses towards those acts, Supremacy is a modern-day superhero story about race, power, and collective responsibility. A longtime theatre-maker, graphic novelist, and emerging playwright, Mendez weaves together his many influences into an urgent, dynamic piece that asks what are we today, and what can we become?
