FEEL THE MOMENT
2015/2016 SEASON
A B O U T T H E P L AY
By Katherine Monberg, Literary Associate
Disgraced premiered at Chicago’s American Theater Company before
moving on to Lincoln Center Theater in 2012, a vibrant playwriting
debut for multi-talented playwright Ayad Akhtar, whose voice as
a novelist, screenwriter and actor has been hailed as “a generous new
voice in American fiction.” The winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize
for Drama, Disgraced subsequently enjoyed a long run on Broadway
last season.
Born in New York City to Pakistani immigrants and raised in
Milwaukee, Akhtar speaks to the multiple identities forged in and
by the modern American melting pot, and the innumerable facets of
assumption, judgment, self-deception, and acceptance that underscore the contemporary social
fabric of America. In Akhtar’s own words, “There are ways that the colonial history of the West
is still playing out in the Muslim world. The events that comprise that history – a disgrace of
native peoples – is still very much a part of our contemporary moment.” Akhtar identifies true
and transparent engagement with the world as the crux of his narrative, seeking the “full
engagement of the emotional and intellectual self” to provide the final necessary component to
the “vital, living, tragic situation” that plays out in real time on the stage.
Playwright Ayad Akhtar.
Akhtar cites his own experiences growing up and navigating the complex identity politics
of America as a spark of inspiration behind his writing: “In my early 30s, I started to realize
I was avoiding something on a personal level, but also as a writer. I was in denial about who
I was, and was trying to be someone I was not.” This journey of his own self-discovery led him
to a new artistic understanding, one in which art is about engaging with the world around us
rather than an abstract quest for self-expression. “All I did metaphorically was to turn and look
over my shoulder at what I was running away from.”
Also central to that self-knowledge were the events of September 11th and its immediate
cultural aftermath. “Post-9/11, folks who looked like me became very visible,” says Akhtar.
“Life changed. I and a lot of people like me felt differently after that. Like Amir, the fact of
being Muslim, whether religious or cultural, became a significant fact that could not be avoided.”

A B O U T T H E P L AY
Though conscious of the social and political forces that interweave within Disgraced, Akhtar
also posits a determined awareness and aversion to sermonizing: “I can’t be a spokesman for
anything other than my own concerns…and if I’m bringing any political awareness to that
process, that mitigates my freedom” and detracts from the audience experience in which lies
the power and impact of the piece. While the show illuminates traditions of representation
and certain Islamophobic tropes, the sense of shared humanity is the heart and soul of the
experience: the opportunity to share in complex perspectives that mirror the observable world.
Akhtar identifies that mirror function as integral to the narrative and theatrical process: “One of
the things that’s problematic to a lot of people is that some readings of the play seem to undermine
other readings. My contention is that your reading of this play tells you a lot about yourself”
and your place within the ongoing cultural and social dialogue. “It makes perfect sense to me
that people would gravitate to whatever reading is going to help them. But ultimately it doesn’t
really matter,” because there is a space for awareness, and conversation, that has been opened.
According to Akhtar, “Art’s capacity to change the world is profoundly limited. But what it can
do is change the way we see things individually” and “that kind of clear-eyed approach to reality
is something for which I’m hoping the play can be a portal.”
REFERENCES
Bonnard: Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French painter and printmaker, and a founding
member of Les Nabis, a Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters. He preferred to create
from memory, and his paintings are often described as having unusual vantage points, a
dreamlike quality and featuring intimate domestic scenes.
Constable: John Constable (1776-1837) was an English Romantic painter, known particularly
for his landscape paintings of “Constable County,” officially known as Dedham Vale. His work
was especially prominent in France, where his work inspired the Barbizon school of painters.
Frieze Art Fair: An annual international contemporary art fair, established in 2003, and held
in London’s Regent Park every October.

Village Voice and has served since 2006 as senior art critic and columnist for New York Magazine.
To date, he has received three nominations for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism.

Matisse: Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a French artist, particularly known for his paintings and
his use of color and fluid draughtsmanship, though he was also a notable printmaker and
sculptor. His expressive style spanned fauvism, modernism and impressionism, and he is
commonly regarded as one of the three artists to lend definition to the plastic arts at the
beginning of the 20th century (along with Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp). Matisse
is recognized as one of the greatest figures to influence modern art.
The Met: New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the most-visited museums in the
world and the largest art museum in the United States.
Portrait of Juan de Pareja: Painting by Diego
Velázquez (c. 1650) that depicts his assistant,
painter Juan de Pareja. Juan de Pareja was born
into slavery in Antequera, near Málaga, Spain,
son to a slave and a Spanish father. He worked
in Velazquez’s household and workshop until
Velazquez’s death in 1660, ten years after he
freed Pareja from slavery. Pareja then became
assistant to painter Juan del Mazo until his own
death in 1670.
Renaissance: European period from the 14th
to the 17th century that began in Italy in the
Late Medieval period, largely considered to
have functioned as a bridge between the
Middle Ages and modern history. The
Renaissance introduced an intellectual focus on
humanism, and applied new thinking to art,
architecture, politics, science and literature.
Artistically, linear perspective was developed
during this period, in addition to techniques
that achieved a more natural representation of
reality than in previous eras. The Renaissance
also contributed to scientific reliance on
observation, the development of diplomacy,
and a resurgence of learning philosophies
derived from classical sources.

Velázquez: Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez (1599-1660)was a Spanish painter and lead
artist in the court of King Philip IV of Spain, and one of the most influential artists of the
Spanish Golden Age. Velázquez was known as an individualist of the Baroque period. In addition
to his paintings depicting scenes of historical and cultural value, he was also a notable portrait
artist, known for his many portraits of the Spanish royal family and notable European figures.
Velazquez is often referred to as one of the greatest influencers of modern painting; his seminal
masterpiece, Las Meninas, is largely considered one of the most important works in Western art
history.

Now celebrating 49 years, Arizona Theatre Company (ATC) boasts the largest subscriber base of
any performing arts organization in Arizona, with more than 130,000 people each year attending
performances at the historic Temple of Music and Art in Tucson, and the elegant Herberger
Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. Each season of carefully selected productions reflects the
rich variety of world drama – from classic to contemporary plays, from musicals to new works,
as audiences enjoy a rich emotional experience that can only be captured through live theatre.
Touching lives through the power of theatre, ATC is the preeminent professional theatre in the
state of Arizona. Under the direction of Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein, ATC operates in
two cities – unlike any other League of Resident Theatres (LORT) company in the country.
ATC shares the passion of the theatre through a wide array of outreach programs, educational
opportunities, access initiatives and community events. Through the schools and summer programs,
ATC focuses on teaching Arizona’s youth about literacy, cultural development, performing arts,
specialty techniques used onstage, and opens their minds to the creative power of dramatic
literature. With approximately 450 Learning & Education activities annually, ATC reaches far
beyond the metropolitan areas of Tucson and Phoenix, enriching the theatre learning experience
for current and future audiences.
The mission of Arizona Theatre Company is to inspire, engage and entertain – one moment, one
production and one audience at a time.
