Jeremy O. Harris has already created two of the most era-defining plays about race in America. He talks to musician Kelela about the ecstasy and trauma of black creativity in white spaces, for i-D:
There are so many rules that come with being black. I think a lot of black people who dislikedjust thought this wasn’t the kind of play, according to their rules, that we need to see right now. There were a lot of people too, who said they didn’t want to see it, didn’t want to even engage with it.
It’s very different in music, because a lot of the musical canon was created by black people, but then they excluded so much black creativity from it. How do you think about trauma, and black trauma? I know people who are basically that main character inI can only speak for myself and my trauma. The things I went through at 19, being hit on by old men in their 50s, the memory of the way my body moved when a hand I didn’t want to touch me was touching me... But turning that trauma into something creative really excites me. Because we are not just our trauma, we are all of our experiences.
I’ve had to work out what I want to talk about publicly, because the white gaze is always waiting to make a judgment.
