Minor Music at the End of the World adapts for the stage Saidiya Hartman’s acclaimed essays “The End of White Supremacy” and “Litany for Grieving Sisters.” This new work takes as its point of departure W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Comet, a speculative fictional tale of the end of the world written in the wake of the pandemic of 1918.
