Otto Frank / Roger Guenveur Smith

Obie Award-winning actor Roger Guenveur Smith makes his Kayenta debut with a new solo performance inspired by the father of diarist Anne Frank, scored live by Marc Anthony Thompson.

Smith’s Otto Frank is an intimate meditation on our current moment which interrogates our not-so-distant past. His Otto, the only member of his immediate family to survive the Nazi death camps, addresses his daughter beyond her time and his own, navigating loss, adolescent ambition, the denial of the diary’s authenticity, and of the Holocaust itself. Smith and Thompson have created poetic and sonically driven work that illuminates the Franks’ tragedy and triumph in a new and necessary light.
