January 5, 2020, Sunday - Shaamya - Of Equality at The Southern
Time: 2 pm
Location: Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Ave. S.
Inspired by the poetry of writer and activist Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976), Shaamya - Of Equality attempts to draw parallels between the experiences of today's oppressed communities with those expressed by Nazrul Islam in his time. Using a mixture of classical Indian dance choreographed by KDT artistic director Rita Mustaphi, original songs composed by musician J.D. Steele, and poetry by artist and playwright Ifrah Mansour, Of Equality shows that Nazrul Islam's ideas about countering oppression with peace, justice and equality remain relevant today.
This is a work-in-progress performance, with a full production coming later in 2020.
$10 general admission; $5 youth/student. Pay-what-you-can option available at-the-door.
