SUMMARY:The Exponential Festival and The Brick present: "Sapphire"
DESCRIPTION:The Exponential Festival and The Brick present\nSapphire\nby Ella Lee Davidson\nat The Brick Theater — 579 Metropolitan Ave\nJanuary 15-18\, 2025\nRunning Time: 90 Minutes \nSelf-identified real-ass bitch and Angry Black Woman\, Peola is unlucky in love and constantly asking herself the age-old question: “When is it my turn to be happy?” After a near-death experience\, she decides to make a change in her life and undergoes an experimental surgical procedure to get a BBI (Be Better Implant). Peola finally has a chance at happiness and embracing her divine feminine\, as well as finding a man\, but the implant and its creator are not without complications and not as perfect as they seem. Sapphire is a surreal afro-futurist satire about the stereotypes we give ourselves and others\, the idea of perfection and the ideal woman\, and the concept of change. \nWritten by Ella Lee Davidson\nDirected by Jordan Powell\nProduced by Paul William Levine\nStage managed by Qu’Raun Scott-McKoy\nSet and projections by Leon Caleb Christian and Kai Hartman\nCostume design by Jason Goodwin\nSound and original music by Camelia Muniz Torres\nLighting by Iman Louis-Jeune\nStarring Scenarious Thurmond\, Anike Sonuga\, Doyin Ajijola\, Jordan Jackson\, and Enette Fremont\nSocial media content created by Chloe “Lulu” Mutebi​​​\nFind them: @sapphiretheplay @smelladavidson​​ \nSapphire was originally developed with Fresh Ground Pepper.​​​​ \nContent warnings: This show contains depictions of physical and domestic violence. \n \nTHE EXPONENTIAL FESTIVAL\nJANUARY’S BROOKLYN-BASED THEATRE FESTIVAL\n~ A pleasure\, a mess\, a thrill\, and a dream. ~​ \nExponential is a month-long January festival dedicated to New York City-based emerging artists working in experimental performance.
