Daniel Bernard Roumain: They Still Want to Kill Us - An Uncensored Aria

Daniel Bernard Roumain: They Still Want to Kill Us - An Uncensored Aria

Joe's Pub YouTube Channel and the Public Theater Website May 25, 2021

“They Still Want To Kill Us” is a short film and an aria by composer and activist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), performed by mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges, and directed by filmmaker Yoram Savion, to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. It speaks truth to what transpired in 1921 at the Tulsa Race Massacre, an atrocity all but deleted from history until recently. The work is being premiered to mark one year since the murder of George Floyd: a commentary on our progress this last century on the issue of race and America’s treatment of Black life. "They Still Want to Kill Us" will premiere on Sozo Artists' YouTube and Facebook at 8PM EST on May 25, 2021; beginning on May 26, it will stream for free from this page and on our YouTube channel until July 31.

The program will include the premiere of the piece by Savion, a discussion with DBR and Bridges, moderated by Jamilla Deria and a statement by Damario Solomon-Simmons of the Justice for Greenwood Foundation.

DBR's acclaimed work as a composer, performer, educator, and activist spans more than two decades, and he has been commissioned by venerable artists and institutions worldwide. “About as omnivorous as a contemporary artist gets” (New York Times), DBR is perhaps the only composer whose collaborations span Philip Glass, Bill T. Jones, Savion Glover, and Lady Gaga. He most recently scored the film Ailey (d. Jamila Wignot), which premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2021.
