Tickets Are Now On Sale For Phillip Howze's SELF PORTRAITS (DELUXE) at JACK
Performances run February 6 - 24, 2024.
The Bushwick Starr will partner with JACK to present SELF PORTRAITS (DELUXE), the newest work by playwright Phillip Howze (Frontieres Sans Frontieres at The Bushwick Starr), and directed by Dominique Rider (Bernarda's Daughters at New Group). Described as: “A mountaintop. A microphone. A mosaic. How might such simple instruments help us to escape the perils and perceptions of this world?”
SELF PORTRAITS (DELUXE) is an inventive, impressionistic new work that blurs the lines between personal and collective memory, refracting and reframing how we spectate in America. Suspended at the edge of confrontation and contemplation, when put together these discursive theatrical portraits – performed in promenade – invite an expansive vision of Blackness and civil society in today's age, while also opening new portals into the possibility of our greater, shared and speculative futures.
The production features:
Clover St Hubert, Aris Stevenson, and more to come
Creative team:
Devon Gates (Composer & Music Director), Brittany Vasta (Scenic), Nia Safarr Banks (Costumes), Masha Tsimring (Lighting), Kathryn Ruvuna (Sound)
The production is Line Produced by Ayana Parker Morrison
