Scream Café is a performance in which audience members are invited to participate and witness an act of audible or silent screaming. The performance, creates a participatory space that does not remove the body or the action from the environment that incites a response, but instead, as a site dependent work, responds directly to it. It is a simple gesture that is as much revolt as release, rendering the body unpalatable. The guttural voice of the interior body, the presence or absence of sound, and the act of interrupting provide a pointed, embodied intervention into a normalcy that renders the lives of Black people as disposable.
