About this item

Comedian Richard Pryor narrated the George Floyd murder in 1979, forty years before it occurred. A murder no one is laughing about. Yet when Pryor tells the story in very raw terms, and with his comic talent, the audience laughs. As a time-traveling trickster, Pryor is preparing the audience, lubricating their psychic joints - spiritually, psychologically, politically - in a foreshadowing today's reckoning. It can be checked out on Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979) .People and cultures draw on a mix of archetypes, the attributes of personality that make them who they are - Warrior, Caretaker, Magician, Fool, Hero, Sage - and Trickster. Tricking Power into Performing Acts of Love is about how grownups who have retained the ability to playful as they were when a child view and behave in the world.
