"Ameriican Requiem is a physical embodiment of Beyoncé’s opening track on her [Beyonce's] newest record. Bey notes, “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.” Ameriican Requiem is about reclaiming the cultures we, as POC, were excluded from. All the rooms we never saw, all the lights still turned off, and all the doors closed in our faces. This production is about taking back our creative freedom, our expression, our ability to dive and explore every crevice we were denied entry. This production will be one of black joy and liberty. Having fun in the pandemonium that is the creative process. Fostering the liberation that is Ameriican Requiem."
