SUMMARY:RATED BLACK: An American Requiem
DESCRIPTION:A solo show that weaves together original poetry\, music\, and songs\, sung by a small choir\, to bury a young Black man and heal a country. \nWritten & Performed by Kareem M. Lucas \nDirected by Gabriel Vega Weissman \nOriginal Music & Arrangements by Avi A. Amon \nLighting Design by Derek Van Heel \nStage Management by Acacia Drake \nA young Black man from Brooklyn hosts his own Homegoing (funeral) service as a way for himself to prepare to die and to honor the memory of the unarmed Black Women and Men who have and are still being murdered by the police at a heartbreaking pace. This piece removes the mask of the perceived “superpredator”\, by weaving together original poetry\, music\, and songs to theatricalize and articulate the vulnerability of a young Black man at risk of becoming the next trending hashtag as the country consumes his digital lynching.
