Cat Wagner & Kelly Silliman present "Karen with a 'K'"
Company:
Cat Wagner + Kelly Silliman
In KAREN WITH A "K," longtime collaborators KELLY SILLIMAN and CAT WAGNER take on the mythology of the “Karen” persona and its increasingly ubiquitous use as a social meme.
“Karen” has become a commonplace, pejorative term for white women who seem entitled beyond reason and who may also weaponize their privilege within certain contexts.
In their new dance play, Silliman and Wagner utilize “iconic” Karen moments from the years 2020 and 2021 as a way to examine how racism and misogyny intersect in contemporary culture. They believe humor can offer opportunities to build tolerance for the messiness and discomfort inherent in personal growth, and also that self-reflection must be matched by thoughtful action.
