Generic Ensemble Company and The VORTEX in Austin, Texas presented Robin Hood: An Elegy by local playwright Krysta Gonzales livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV channel at howlround.tv on Friday 21 August at 9 p.m. EDT (Washington, DC) / 8 p.m. CDT (Austin) / 6 p.m. PDT (San Francisco).
Robin Hood: An Elegy follows a Black Robin Hood who magically transcends space and time experiencing state-sanctioned racism. Set both in 2015 and the past, Robin’s plight mirrors and invokes the ethos of #blacklivesmatter in a struggle to assert humanity, dignity, and cunning against long-standing foes. In an age-old fight against white supremacy for justice and freedom, will Robin prevail?
