The MacArthur 'Genius' Fellow blends Gaga-inspired movement with sumo, butoh and techno influences.
Shamel Pitts | TRIBE will bring 'Marks of RED' to the Power Center on Saturday, October 3 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, October 4 at 2 pm.

Tickets start at just $26 (+ fees). More information and tickets are available at ums.org and tickets.ums.org.
