The Arsonist

The Arsonist (Live Performance with Visual Projections and Audio Work Integrated. ) 
In The Arsonist, the fictional story of  a white visual artist named Veronica and her estranged biracial son Andrew are integrated with the principles of fire science, movement, visual projections and live music to explore the personal implications of our social and political theories surrounding justice in America today. We hear the voices and stories of the women that Veronica
 interviews and "paints":  A Congolese-American woman whose family was directly impacted by Leopold II's occupation, a Mexican woman activist who advocated for the rights of Latino farmworkers during the 1960s and two Senegalese teenage girls who've recently immigrated to the US.
