This performance confronts the pain, loss, and helplessness of African American mothers whose children have been killed as a result of police violence and oppression in the United States, recognizing survival as a radical act of resistance.

My mother remains seated on a mound of earth, beneath which I lie buried, though still visible to the audience. After some time, she covers my face and the parts of my body that remain exposed, burying me completely.
