Nina Simone sings the “Pirate Jenny” song from The Threepenny Opera, the day-to-day commentary of a hotel worker. In her daydreaming, she takes revenge for her humiliation and exploitation. Archie Shepp’s “Things Have Got to Change” concludes this poetic variation on alienation. Haiti-born Bernard Nicolas settled in the United States after his family fled the Duvalier dictatorship. He is a documentary director, producer, writer and photographer.
