ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT " When is a person dead, dead? When no one can recall his memory.** Drama Recalls the Lives of Slaves in Old Salem Flonnie Anderson, along with five other actors frorf! the* community, will bring to life the characters in the Fred Wilson installation, "Insight, In Site, In Sight. Incite: Memory." The kickoff event will be held Saturday* August 26 at the St. Philip's Church in Old Salem beginning at 1:30 p.m. The installation is sponsored by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) as part of their Artist in the Com munity Series. Using historical data record ed by the Moravians, Flonnie Anderson has created a story telling interpretation of the lives of slaves who lived in Salem. Anderson says she's had to fill in it lot of gaps in the data because there was nothing there except raw details. I J < "I've taken some liberties to assign jobs and tasks, feelings and emotions that were not recorded." The data will be presented in choral reading style with portray als of five characters - Rosa Lucy Ann, Phyllis, Timothy, Rebecca Hill and Alex Johnson. l<ebecca and Alex were white niin Moravians who were buried in the "strang?rs graveyard" with the slaves. Bertha Roundtree will tell Rosa Lucy Ann's story. Rosa was a slave purchased by the Ruez family. She was a mother, grand mother and great grandmother. Roundtree says she enjoyed telling Rosa's story. She said she is reminded of the question - when is one; dead, dead? She says it's when no one can recall a memory of that person. Roundtree says she is glad to be able to resurrect the spirit of Rosa. Donza Friende will tell the Mory of Phyllis. Phyllis was bought from Bethania to Salem w hen a doctor purchased Phyllis* mother. Phyllis was not quite one > ear old at the time. When she became older she worked in a steel house and later bore a son. She died at twenty one years of age. Rudy Anderson will portray rimothy, a native African nslaved in Old Salem. Accord ?tig to the records, Timothy as ell as his wife, Janie lived to be ?\er 100 years old.
