The Double Invention Of Komo by Jay Wright
"The Double Invention of Komo" is a lyrical exploration of African heritage and the complex tapestry of cultural identity. Through a blend of poetry and drama, the work delves into the spiritual and historical dimensions of African and African-American experiences. The narrative weaves together myth, philosophy, and the power of music, particularly focusing on the significance of the Komo secret society of West Africa. The text serves as a profound meditation on the nature of being, the origins of knowledge, and the intricate connections between the past and the present, as it seeks to reconcile the dualities of tradition and innovation, community and individuality, and the visible and invisible worlds.
