Join director Juli Crockett and Harlem Stage Executive Director Patricia Cruz for a conversation about developing The George Project, as well as the work and legacy of Emilio Cruz.

CalArts Center for New Performance in association with Loose Change Productions hosts a workshop of When This War Is Over, You’re Going to Get It George, written by Emilio Cruz and directed by Juli Crockett. The play is a ‘60s-style, political, Artaud-inspired “open theatre” meditation on the brutal logic of warfare and the capacity of humankind to endure (or exploit) the most depraved and hopeless of circumstances.  

An African-American born of Cuban descent, Emilio Cruz continued deliberation on the mythic dimensions of human experience and expression carried through his multiple identities and activities as a visual artist, poet, playwright, and musician.
