Brooklyn Arts Exchange Announces IONA FLIES AWAY
by BWW News Desk - May 01, 2018
On summer's sweltering days, a young Iona heads to the beach on a family outing with Daddy, Brother, Mama and Uncle - who always shows up. Even though the sandy shores and the seagulls swirling satiate Iona's lonely soul, she is already aware that her skin color and gender might have marked her. While younger Brother can 'do no wrong', Iona's path is unclear. Her Daddy is a respite but Mama is mostly unforgiving, especially toward Iona as she comes of age. After one argument with Mama too many, a teenaged Iona chooses to find her own way into the next chapters of her sometimes crude and luckily serendipitous journey. Told with song and story through the voices of her 'conscious/unconscious' Iona Flies Away is about a young black girl who grows into a woman. She is seeking love and significance because in life, hopefully, that's what happens.
