The Emperor Jones

2001, 38:15 min, color, sound

The Emperor Jones is a brave interpretation of Eugene O'Neill's play concerning the power structures of colonialism and slavery. With thoughtful use of the video medium, the work confronts not only the highly contentious elements of the play, but also the boundaries between theater and video art. Longtime Wooster Group members Kate Valk and Willem Dafoe are the featured performers.
