Theatre studies and archaeology are socio-archival disciplines. Archaeology unearths clues about practices of the past, while theatre and performance often negotiate and represent such practices in a contemporary context (Pearson and Shanks). In Barbados, some dig sites are located on colonial plantations, with found artefacts shedding light on those who suffered during enslavement. With the call for reparations for the injustices endured during that colonial era, this research sits at the intersection of theatre and archaeology, aiming to develop a reparative playwriting practice which uncovers the silenced narratives of enslaved people in Barbados during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

戏剧研究和考古学是社会统计学科。考古学发掘了有关过去实践的线索，而戏剧和表演经常在当代背景下进行谈判并代表这种做法（Pearson and Shanks）。在巴巴多斯，一些挖掘地点位于殖民地种植园上，发现的人工制品阐明了那些在奴役期间受苦的人。随着呼吁对那个殖民时代持续的不公正现象进行赔偿，这项研究正是戏剧与考古学的交汇处，旨在发展一种修复性的戏剧写作实践，从而揭示了跨性别者奴隶贸易期间巴巴多斯奴役者沉默的叙事。
