The World Premiere 'The Year of James Baldwin - Carl Hancock Rux's Stranger on Earth,' a new work commissioned and produced by Harlem Stage, will run for two days only, tonight and tomorrow, February 19 & 20 at 7:30pm.

The World Premiere 'The Year of James Baldwin - Carl Hancock Rux's Stranger on Earth,' a new work commissioned and produced by Harlem Stage, will run for two days only, Thursday and Friday, February 19 & 20 at 7:30pm.

Harlem Stage will present the world premiere of Stranger on Earth, from OBIE-winning playwright and interdisciplinary performing artist Carl Hancock Rux. The production, which anchors Harlem Stage's The Year of James Baldwincentenary celebration and exemplifies the institution's commitment to honoring artists of color-past, present and future-imagines a chance meeting between James Baldwin and Dinah Washington, two of the era's most iconic African Americans, at a Harlem jazz lounge in 1963. Commissioned and produced by Harlem Stage, Rux draws from Baldwin's landmark essays to create a work that addresses race, identity and the future of a world that both Baldwin and Washington struggled to understand and inhabit. Rux performs Stranger on Earth with vocalist Marcelle Davies Lashley, who interprets Washington's songs, against the backdrop of an arresting video montage by Onome Ekeh.
