2021/2022 Hodder Fellow Leslie Cuyjet shares her one-woman show, For All Your Life for BAM's Next Wave Festival December 3 - 7 at BAM Fisher in Brooklyn.
For All Your Life is a performance event and social experiment that investigates the value of Black life and Black death. Staged as a performance seminar, choreographer and artist Leslie Cuyjet plays an insurance sales woman who guides audiences through her sales pitch.
The presentation offers a primer on the life insurance industry and its direct connection to slavery; unpacking the ways in which human beings grapple with the inevitable prospect of death and, more importantly, the ways in which lives—especially those of people of color—are monetized.
