Eisa Davis & Jillian Walker: Two Conversations
Eisa Davis
In September 2021, playwright/performers
Eisa Davis and Jillian Walker met to discuss Walker's performance ritual, SKiNFoLK:
An American Show (forthcoming from 53rd State Press in March 2022). In
January 2022, they met again to discuss Davis's installation performance
piece The Essentialisn't (forthcoming from 53rd State Press in
2023). In these twin interviews about the uncanny ways their works mirror
each other, Davis and Walker take up questions of archive, memory, generational
trauma, survivor's guilt, and the conundrum of performance given the
commodification and consumption of Black women's joy and pain. How to
acknowledge, process, and heal the hurt that is felt? How to perform without
being captured by others' ideas of what it means to be oneself?
