Artist Discussion and Q&A with Mohegan Director, Playwright, and Actor, Madeline <\/span>Sayet<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Join us on <\/span>Sunday, July 10 at 6:00 p.m.<\/span><\/b> as we welcome award-winning Mohegan director, writer, actor, and educator Madeline Sayet to the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian. We invite you to this in-person conversation and Q&A to celebrate Sayet’s work and the production of her solo play, <\/span>Where We Belong<\/span><\/i><\/a>,<\/span><\/i> now showing at the Goodman Theatre as part of a national tour presented by the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in association with the Folger Shakespeare Library.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where We Belong<\/span><\/i>, at the Goodman Theatre through July 24, 2022, is a personal story of an Indigenous theatre-maker’s journey across geographic borders, personal history, and cultural legacies; in search of a place to belong<\/span>. <\/span><\/i>Sayet’s autobiographical account in<\/span> Where We Belong<\/span><\/i> shares her experience pursuing a Ph.D. in Shakespeare in England. There she finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its role in colonialism while echoing a journey to England braved by Native ancestors in the 1700s following treatise betrayals, forcing us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This intimate conversation with Sayet is free for Mitchell Museum Members and $10 for non-members. Admission for Native citizens is always free. Tickets can be purchased in advance or\u00a0onsite.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
