God's Country (written by Steven Dietz)

Design Statement

God's Country chronicles the activities of a White Supremacist organization called The Order that led to the 1984 murder of Denver radio host, Alan Berg. During a time where there is a reemergence of hate groups, our intention was to take a hard look at ourselves, our history and explore how we have not learned from our past through the words of Dietz. Our team determined that icons and symbols of hate juxtaposed with images and music we associate with national pride, the wholesomeness of home and family, and a sense of belonging in religion are impactful in combination for an audience in close proximity to action in a small space. We created an environment where audience was looking across disturbing images onstage at other members of the audience. The action surrounded the audience from all possible positions. Projections, sound, lighting, and movement worked together to assault, soothe, and address all participants while carrying them from actual locations to metaphysical places to metaphorical states. Through a white, patriarchal world where women exist to propagate the race and for the pleasure of men, our intention was to start a conversation about race, gender, power, and conspiracy theory.
