“The Mound Builders” a play
Interweaving past and present through the use of slides, the action of the play probes into the lives—and conflicts—of disparate people on an archcgelogical dig to uncover the story of Indigenous peopoloe known as the “Mound Builders.” The play’s story evokes resonances that illuminate what we are and will surely become, and which underscore the irony of our collective blindness to the disturbing lessons that a close study of the past must inevitably reveal.
