ALIENATED: A Decolonization of Myths

Abstract

A Theatre and Performance Senior Project titled The Unspoken Word Collection, a theatre-film hybrid consisting of three solo shows, each covering"unspoken" topics. ALIENATED is Veronica Ryzio's solo show, which is a culmination of her perspective on US immigration. Through an exploration of multiple identities, topics ranging from citizenship to the "illegal alien" are interrogated. This production was supported by research into the construction of the illegal alien narrative throughout United States history.
