Lil is obsessed with the art, strength and beauty of Mixed Martial Arts, inspired by her older brother Big, a star of the local MMA circuit. But they haven’t spoken in years — until she suddenly appears at his door. Ngozi Anyanwu’s searing new play explores sibling bonds, reunions and the fight to build a life you can be proud of. Through the propulsive lens of MMA, Big and Lil’s story fuses the poetry of words and symphony of movement into a stylish, gritty and action-charged love story between estranged siblings.
