The 14th Episode of House/Full of BlackWomen:
New Chitlin Circuitry: Reparations Vaudeville

Excerpts from Laveau by Britt Frazier, Directed by Margo Hall with ritual offering by Portsha Jefferson and Rara Tou Limen.

Laveau, performed by Cathleen Riddle, is a public ritual for the healing and protection of the black femme spirit. A callback conjuring of our ancestral womb blood, divine connection to water and nature and our lineage black girl magi noir. Through song, dance, storytelling and ancient ritual we conjure Laveau. The piece serves as a haunting of New Orleans’ most powerful Vudu Queens Marie Laveau the first and second, in the time of Covid, racial uprising and the housing crisis among black and brown women and artists today, for healing.

House/Full of BlackWomen is a site specific ritual performance project that addresses issues of displacement, well being, and sex trafficking of black women and girls in Oakland.

Set in various public sites throughout Oakland over a Five-year period, this community-engaged project is performed as a series of “Episodes” that are driven by the core question, “How can we, as black women and girls find space to breathe, and be well within a stable home?” The House/Full of Blackwomen project will culminate in 2021.
