On May 7 at the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion @ the Boston Center for the Arts, Cathy McLaurin's performance No place like home will combine documentary, lecture and storytelling. The narrator weaves together images and sound through the story of the rural town of Siler City, North Carolina. Drawing from an archive of material compiled through off-site research and visits to the town, the narrator peels back a veneer of complexity to reveal undercurrents of power, desire and histories that intertwine with contemporary issues of race, immigration and industrial decline.
