In this gripping production, art imitates life. It holds a mirror to the audience and challenges the viewer through dance, theatre, and text to reflect upon themselves and their presence within the everyday narratives that are presented to them via social media, television, newspapers, politics, family, and first-hand encounters. Witness a compelling commentary covering topics such as WHITE FRAGILITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION, ANTI-BLACKNESS, ANTI-QUEERNESS & RACIAL FEAR. It forces viewers to step outside of their own bodies and into bodies that continue to be brutalized, objectified, and minimized within America. The tension of everyday life and the experiences of Black and Brown people are brilliantly woven together in ways that have yet to be seen on stage. Viewers are left to decide if they will be active in the fight for this generation's civil rights or if they will simply sit on the sidelines. An immersive film using dance, theatre, and text to further the discussion around #BLACKLIVESMATTER and the recent events pertaining to race relations in America.
