red, black & GREEN: a blues
The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts gets in on the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival with its presentation of the multi-disciplinary work red, black & GREEN: a blues. A mix of theater, dance, spoken word and gospel music, the piece is the brainchild of poet innovator Marc Bamuthi Joseph. Performed on a set of row houses constructed entirely with repurposed materials, the piece seeks to define the meaning of sustainability in urban America. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes performers from the full spectrum of performing arts, the show uses movement, songs and monologues to tell a collection of personal stories that explore the impact violence, poverty and “racial consciousness” has on urban communities. Preceding the performance tonight is a mini poetry slam featuring Philly Youth Poetry Movement. -J. Cooper Robb
