Spoken word artists and comedians breathe life into their narratives, forging a connection with us, the listeners. This season, we feel how the art of the spoken word transcends language, as these theatrical artists stir emotions, provoke thoughts and inspire us to act.
Inua Ellams hearkens back to the birth of storytelling with his spontaneous acts of call and response. Hilarious voices of Native American Comedy take the stage in an incisive stand-up show. In Selected Shorts we hear spellbinding and funny stories that unravel our complex relationship to the planet. And Aaron Jafferis, a spoken word artist-in-residence, calls ancestors and future generations into dialogue.
