The story of Desdemona from Shakespeare's Othello is re-imagined by
Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison, Malian singer and songwriter
Rokia Traore, and acclaimed stage director Peter Sellars.
Morrison's response to Othello is an intimate dialogue of words and
music between Desdemona and her African nurse Barbary. Morrison
gives voice and depth to the female characters, letting them speak
and sing in the fullness of their hearts. Desdemona is an
extraordinary narrative of words, music and song about Shakespeares
doomed heroine, who speaks from the grave about the traumas of
race, class, gender, war and the transformative power of love. Toni
Morrison transports one of the most iconic, central, and disturbing
treatments of race in Western culture into the new realities and
potential outcomes facing a rising generation of the 21st century.
