SUMMARY:Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye at The Guild Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us for a communal story-telling experience with stage director Awoye Timpo, and explore the theatrical adaptation of The Bluest Eye.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThe Guild Sanctuary has partnered with The Huntington for a unique communal story-telling experience. Acclaimed stage director Awoye Timpo invites guests to explore the topics of racism, Black beauty, and internalized oppression through the lens of Toni Morrison’s (author of Beloved, and recipient of the Nobel & Pulitzer prize in Literature) groundbreaking novel, and Lydia Diamond’s (Stick Fly, Smart People ) theatrical adaptation of The Bluest Eye.\nThe Bluest Eye tells the story of Pecola, a young Black girl who believes the world would be wonderful if she could have blue eyes. Enthralling, gorgeously written, and incredibly emotional, The Bluest Eye is an American touchstone.\nGuests will be seated in a circle surrounding the director, and the experience will create a space for provocation, remembrance and healing. In Awoye’s words, “Coming together in a circle to tell a story is essential to our humanity. That’s what we’re inviting the community into with The Bluest Eye.”\nThe Guild Sanctuary is a space centered on healing, wellness, social connection. Guests will be welcomed into a sanctuary that blends the medicinal practices of the global BIPOC community and serves as a conduit for restoration and healing.\n*This event has been moved online and will be streamed via Zoom.\n\n\n\n\n\n
