October 15, 2011, Saturday - Wise Whys Ys With Amiri Baraka (Live) at Southern Theater

Time: 8:00pm

Location: Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Avenue South

An Evening of Spoken Word, Jazz, and Dance Theater

The Wise Whys YsE.G. Bailey adapts Amiri Baraka's Wise Why's Y's, an epic journey through the history of Africans in America, and a perfect blend of avant-garde poetry with the griot consciousness.

Paying homage to Langston's Ask Your Mama, William Carlos William's Patterson, and Melvin B. Tolson's Liberia alike, it attempts to articulate the history of a people or a place. Wise Why's Y's questions and answers broad themes of history and cultural identity.

Tru Ruts' Freestyle Theatre presents this evening of provocative Spoken Word, Jazz and Dance.

Tickets: $7 in advance at amiribaraka.eventbrite.com
