Barca: Men of Lightning
Book & Lyrics by Kenneth Grimes
Music by Carlton Bacon
Barca - their family name means lightning, for their power and method of striking their enemies. Rome is that enemy, before it has established its grip upon the ancient world. A heroic myth, presented with music, dance and battle scenes, this is the story of the Barca family; unfolding both heroic and tragic.
Originally produced by the Denver Black Arts Company.
