Description

Written and Directed by Tara Moses
In partnership with Native Performing Arts Network, Mosaic Theater Company, Theater Alliance, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company

Ivy Johnson was adopted in the fall of 1998 to a Mexican American mother and an African American father. Although it's obvious that she's of color, she has never known where she comes from or her racial background—that is until she sorts through her mail at Thanksgiving. The following weeks come with major discoveries, but they only leave her with more questions. What makes someone Native? A blood quantum mandate demanded by the Federal Government? Culture, language, and pride? What does it mean when your identity is stripped away from you? Rediscovering culture, reclaiming Indigenous identity, and learning what it means to be a Native woman in contemporary America is the road Ivy must travel. Quantum is inspired by Moses's maternal grandfather's story.
