Does That Make Me Crazy tells a story of a mixed race family over three decades. Set against the backdrop of Black liberation movements in the 1970s, 1990s and mid 2010s, Does That Make Me Crazy makes important links between Black liberation and Mad justice.
As part of the SummerWorks Lab, Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware will take you on a journey to consider your assumptions about race and racialization, by bringing together performance, puppetry and music.
