Black Light - 2018 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

Greenwich House Theatre
27 Barrow St., New York, NY 10014
Run Type Limited Run
Market Off-Broadway
Previews September 24, 2018
After a sold-out run at Joe's Pub, Daniel Alexander Jones returns to the stage as Jomama Jones, his critically-acclaimed alter-ego, in BLACK LIGHT. BLACK LIGHT is a revival for turbulent times and asks us, "Beyond what we can see, what can we be?" Jomama and her musical collaborators lead audiences on an intimate journey - through the darkness of personal and political upheaval, and the shards of shattered illusions - illuminated by spontaneous humor and what The New Yorker calls her "very particular radiance."

BLACK LIGHT draws musical influence from Prince, Sade, Diana Ross, and Tina Turner, and is marked significantly by the Black American Freedom movement, Afromysticism, goddess mythology and divination. Commissioned as part of Joe's Pub's New York Voices program, this immersive performance piece removes the barrier between artist and audience through inquiry, story and song.
