W e can all agree that on a national level, 2017 was a Dumpster fire of a year. But one silver lining is the flood of protest art that has arisen, and that’s at the root of Ma’at Production Association of Afrikan Centered Theatre’s (MPAACT) new project 100 Acts of Resistance, a series of performances that explores how different artists define resistance.
“We do these types of projects to start conversations, so that people can not only speak but listen,” Stillwell says. “Making America great is not shutting down the press, it’s not closing off the borders. It’s actually having a full conversation with everyone involved and all voices and perspectives.”
2/2-3/3 and 4/27-5/26: various days and times, Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln, 773-404-7336, greenhousetheater.org, $12.
