April 21-23, 2023
Friday & Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2p
Tickets are FREE!
TICKETSUsing the transformative form of narrative choreopoetry – a performance method that combines elements of a traditional narrative script with movement, music, and poetry – comes a story about a lower-class black family who has suffered many traumas together by the hand of their abusive father. Desperately trying to move on from their scarring past, the single mother is forced to move her four children into a Section 8 apartment. However, the road to healing and reconciliation within the family is its own demon that unearths unspoken truths and unyielding revelations that make the journey of staying and enduring together “as a family” strenuous, to say the least.
