“Joseph is the real deal, swinging with such confidence that you grasp for adjectives to capture his skills.” —Star Tribune
Spoken word/hip-hop theater artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph’s new multimedia work on environmental justice and social ecology questions collective responsibility (his own included) in a time of dramatic climate change. In an exhilarating, interactive performance of dance, text, video, and visuals, directed by Michael John Garcés, Joseph is joined onstage by dancer/actor Traci Tolmaire, turntablist Tommy Sheppard, and vocalist/visual artist Theaster Gates, who also designed the set. This piece, which begins with an immersive onstage audience experience, follows Joseph’s 2008 critically acclaimed the break/s, also co-commissioned by the Walker.
