Cops and Robbers: Hunter Poetry at The Marsh Berkeley

November 10-December 9, 2017
8pm Fridays, 8:30pm Saturdays

Jinho “The Piper” Ferreira returns to The Marsh Berkeley this November with his hard-hitting solo show Cops and Robbers: Hunter Poetry, in a revised production that includes musician WolfHawkJaguar and his band, live on stage. A piercing look into the dysfunctional relationship between law enforcement, the media, and the black community, Cops and Robbers: Hunter Poetry explores an officer-involved shooting and its devastating effects. Writer/performer Ferreira takes the viewer on an emotionally-charged ride with unexpected twists and turns, as he seamlessly travels through 17 characters, each with his or her own convictions, logic, and prejudices. Piper’s driving performance is now scored with traditional African spiritual music, to fill out the emotional journey for audiences who often leave the theater overwhelmed by this unflinching look deep into the workings of modern law enforcement.
