Chicago, Sudan
written and performed by Marc Bamuthi Joseph

This short choreopoem uses movement and verse to unlock a mother's connection between an East African genocide and a Midwestern homicide. Chicago, Sudan is the first in a series of works that culminate in red, black and GREEN: a blues, which theatrically navigates African America's engagement with the global environmental movement.

Hygiene
