In a world where it has become more and more common for history to be eroded, rewritten or erased entirely, Jim Petosa’s new play, Fragments, is a stunning gift. Doing what the theater does best, this piece is a memoir of a very specific time and place that shines a light on the turbulent years from 1985-90 when the world was overtaken by the AIDS crisis that decimated a generation at the same time it galvanized massive positive changes in health reseach and care. In the panel after the performance we will recall how the lessons of ACT UP's rage, story-telliing, and constant non-violent pressure created lasting healthcare justice for everyone.ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT/PERFORMER: Jim Petosa is Professor Emeritus with Boston University’s College of Fine Arts.
