Rooted in seven poetic movements and the driving musicality of an inventive score, this bold, activist opera invites audiences to rise up against the theft of Black breath, to meditate on our shared humanity and to join in the agency of shared resistance. The experience starts with an invitation to get involved, then takes you into a music action—beamed directly from the performance hall to your home—and offers you the tools to stay in the movement.
