River To River Festival Presents BLESSING THE BOATS, 6/27-6/30

Co-commissioned by LMCC and BMCC, presented as part of Blink Your Eyes: Sekou Sundiata Revisited
First come, first served - box office opens 45 min. prior to curtain
blessing the boats: the remix is a re-imagining of Sekou Sundiata's acclaimed solo theater work, blessing the boats. Director Rhodessa Jones revisits Sundiata's story of life-threatening illness and recovery as told through the unique interplay of three poet/performers: Will Power, Carl Hancock Rux, and Mike Ladd. These compelling voices revive Sundiata's incisive writing, finding the universal in the particular and exploring the ritual, humor and compassion of his play. This remix encompasses language, music, and visual projections of healing and hope.

blessing the boats: the remix is presented as part of Blink Your Eyes: Sekou Sundiata Revisited, a city-wide retrospective produced by MAPP International Productions.

Blink Your Eyes: Sekou Sundiata Revisited celebrates Sekou Sundiata's broad vision for bold, rigorous, multidisciplinary artistic expression that emerges from a love for one's community, a passion for real democracy and social justice, and a vision for a better world. In venues across New York City from April to October 2013, we invite you to celebrate Sundiata's legacy through live performances by the artists he inspired- in the places and communities that inspired him.
