Winner of the 1993 Obie Award, Marisol is an apocalyptic urban fantasy which urges society to 'wake up' and somehow find a way to recover the long-lost and much-needed compassion for our fellow man, as this is the only way to save our world. Angelic warfare, mental illness, and the disintegration of modern society are the themes as we follow Marisol Perez, a young Puerto Rican woman, through a disturbing and disorienting world that pushes the boundaries of conventional theology, biological sex, personal relationships, and the pathology of fear and paranoia.
THEATER at Downtown Urban Arts Festival 2018 will feature Corporatesthenics, written and performed by Baindu D. Kalokoh. Mary E. Hodges is the director.

'This play has been known throughout history to turn a lens onto the audience's own moral compass, and I hope that people will walk away from this show willing to talk about the issues it brings up. Too many times we hide from those challenging dialogues, but through art and storytelling, we can hopefully help to engage conversation in our communities.'
