Djanet Sears's Harlem Duet reimagines Shakespeare's Othello by weaving together three stories about Othello and his first wife, Billie, across three distinct time periods: the Civil War era, the Harlem Renaissance, and the present day. This essay centers on the scenes set in the Harlem Renaissance, a timeline that appears to unfold out of chronological order. By disrupting the linear progression of time, Sears transforms the theater into a platform that amplifies the stories of the oppressed through the dramatization of the ongoing, persistent cycle of oppression.

哈林区的奥赛罗：在 Djanet Sears 的哈林区二重奏中改造剧院

贾内特·西尔斯哈林二重奏重新构想莎士比亚奥赛罗通过将三个关于奥赛罗和他的第一任妻子比莉的故事编织在一起，跨越三个不同的时期：内战时期、哈莱姆文艺复兴时期和现在。这篇文章以哈莱姆文艺复兴时期的场景为中心，这是一个似乎没有按时间顺序展开的时间线。通过打乱时间的线性进程，西尔斯将剧院变成了一个平台，通过持续不断的压迫循环的戏剧化来放大被压迫者的故事。
