Packet 4: Bonus 3

The Harlem Renaissance playwright Martia Bonner drew on this movement for her play The Purple Flower. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this German movement that influenced Eugene O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones. Like a similar film movement, it made use of distorted sets to convey emotion.
ANSWER: expressionism
[10h] Expressionist characters like the “Real Estate Man” appear in an epic by Shirley Graham Du Bois (“doo BOYSS”) titled for this sort of object. Langston Hughes symbolized “revolt” against the “world of subway trains” with this specific sort of object, which represents the off-stage revolt in The Emperor Jones.
ANSWER: tom-toms [or tom drums; prompt on drums, percussion, or musical instruments] (Hughes’s passage about the “tom-tom of revolt” appears in “The Negro Artist and The Racial Mountain.”)
[10m] Tom-Tom starred Jules Bledsoe as a “man” named for this system. This system nicknames a 1936 production of Macbeth with an all-black cast, which Orson Welles set on a Caribbean island instead of in Scotland.
ANSWER: Voodoo [accept Voodoo Man or “Voodoo Macbeth”; accept Vodou or Vodun]
