My Electric Genealogy (A Condensation)
Using the transmission infrastructure of Los Angeles as site of inquiry, My Electric Genealogy is an eighty-minute solo performance exploring my family’s entanglement in the political, material, and cultural conditions that have produced the climate crisis. The excerpt presented here interweaves three forms of testimony in tension: the monologue of an anxious parent imagining her child’s climate-changed future, a speech given by her grandfather in 1968, and interviews she conducted in 2022 with Diné (Navajo) environmental justice advocates testifying both to the harms of that infrastructure and the as-yet-unrealized possibility of repurposing it for more just, sustainable, and reparative ends.
