A Blackened Heart

A formed opinion that lands poorly. It can be all it takes to lose friends, work, and context. And it can happen fast.

A Blackened Heart is a story about shame, guilt, and retribution, and the devastating consequences of what we call cancel culture.

Is it right to lose everything for a stated opinion, a vague and dirty past, something that was considered reprehensible or a crime you're accused of?

Can you explain yourself, ask for forgiveness, or be heard when memories are fragmentary and the truth about what happened is disputed? And who or what judges when the case becomes public and the accused is exposed by name and photo?

Is there satisfaction in revenge, in being on the right side, and being part of the crowd that puts the culprit in place when the justice system doesn't provide adequate results?

On stage stand an actor, a dancer, and a movement-based actor who dive into and question cancel culture.
