LABEL_WORK_DESCRIPTION

’The Emperor Jones’ is a brave interpretation of Eugene O’Neill’s play concerning the power structures of colonialism and slavery. With thoughtful use of the video medium, the work confronts not only the highly contentious elements of the play, but also the boundaries between theater and video art.
