Connected like a puppet to objects that have informed the Black experience in America, multidisciplinary artist Edisa Weeks alternates between blackface, whiteface, storytelling, and visceral dance to dig into the pathologizing of African Americans and the foundations of Liberty in America. 3 RITES: Liberty begins with an installation of roots made out of paper and twine that hang from the ceiling to the floor. As our nation grapples with confederate monuments, Black Lives Matter, fake news, and economic stratification; 3 RITES: Liberty humorously and poignantly insists on a reckoning with our past and present. Warning: The show contains mature themes. 4123633000

A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters. "God of Carnage" runs for two weekends at The Theatre Factory in Trafford (235 Cavitt Ave.): April 26-28 and May 2-4, 2024. ‪(412) 532-6411‬
