Black girl magic is reborn at eta in this fearlessly new, fiercely now reinvention of Ntozake Shange’s iconic work. In this celebration of the power of Black womanhood, eight women share their stories and find strength in each other’s humor and passion through a fusion of poetry, dance, music, and song that explodes off the stage and resonates with all.

Written by Ntozake Shange in 1975, the piece transformed how Black women’s stories, pain, joy, sexuality, spirituality, and resilience were represented on stage.
