“Curiously stylish and sincere, glossily cold and tender. Always visually striking.”—New York Times
BLACK HOLE begins when a body emerges from its cocoon. What follows is a kaleidoscopic performance choreographed by award-winning movement artist Shamel Pitts and performed by his Brooklyn-based arts collective TRIBE. Deeply inspired by the ideals of Afrofuturism, the piece combines virtuosic dance, original sound, video projection, and light design to transport a trio of Black performers to a cosmic void. The third multidisciplinary live artwork in Pitt’s "BLACK Series" triptych, BLACK HOLE is a tale of vitality and tenderness, darkness and light, personal growth and collective empowerment.
Copresented by Northrop. In honor of Dale Schatzlein (1948–2006) and his important work in dance and jazz in the Twin Cities, support is provided by Emily Maltz.
Audio description is planned for Friday, March 22.
