Heurisko is Hellenistic Greek for the word found, the title’s inspiration comes from the forthcoming chapbook Found, by Ronald Lewis. Heurisko: a play about found things, is a dance-theatre piece about Alabama, cotton, and American slavery. The work seeks to resurrect the ghosts of personal ancestral figures, while providing historical context to the skeletal remains of memory and documentation. The purpose of this is to explore reconciliation and healing with both personal and historic narratives given the reality and consequence of American slavery, Western Imperialism, and internal identity tensions.
