A Seat at the Table is an ode to the complexities and realities of the black experience. This solo performance created by Esie Mensah was birthed from the tragedies that have occurred throughout the world and the impact of a global shift towards accountability. A continuation of her highly acclaimed film, TESSEL, Mensah wants to continue the conversation by unpacking the emotional rollercoaster that racism and colonialism have had on our spirits. We are tired and honesty still feels too hard to express. Not allowing fear to mute our true feelings, Mensah explores the reality of giving the audience a seat at the table to the black experience.
