Photos: BERTA, BERTA Opens This Saturday At Echo Theater Company
DeJuan Christopher and Kacie Rogers star in Chéri’s unique, magical and heart-wrenching “fictional origin story” of the song of the same name.
The West Coast premiere of Angelica Chéri’s “Berta, Berta.” a sensuous love story that was inspired by a prison chain gang song from Parchman Farm, opens this weekend at the Echo Theater Company in a production directed by Andi Chapman. See photos of the production.
DeJuan Christopher and Kacie Rogers star in Chéri’s unique, magical and heart-wrenching “fictional origin story” of the song “Berta, Berta.” In 1920s Mississippi, Leroy has committed an unforgivable crime and is ready to accept his punishment: incarceration at notorious Parchman Farm. He has just one final wish before he’s caught – a chance to make amends with his long lost love, Berta. Their reunion swells from a quarrelsome conjuring of the past to an impassioned plot to escape their impending fate.
