Island's Hurricane Season tour stop will take place at the Mixed Magic
Theatre on Tuesday September 29th & Wednesday 30th. Doors open
6:45pm Showtime 7:00p.m.<br>
<br>Mixed Magic Theatre 171 Main Street Pawtucket, Rhode Island 02860 401-475-6675<br><a href="http://www.mixedmagictheatre.org/" target="_blank">http://www.mixedmagictheatre.org</a><br><br>Through
a tapestry of spoken-word poetry, video projection, dance, shadow art,
and a sound collage of personal testimonies, Hurricane Season connects
the issues that surfaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the
unnatural disasters disenfranchised communities are experiencing
nationwide and worldwide on a daily basis.<br>
<br>Hurricane Season tackles global warming, environmental injustice,
policing, prisons, militarization, corporate domination,
gentrification, and displacement as they manifest from one gulf to
another, with a powerful tale of resistance, resilience, creativity and
survival. Rhythmic and uplifting, revealing and deeply moving,
Hurricane Season seeks not to captivate audiences, but to liberate them.<br>
<br>A community solutions segment features Rhode Island based
grassroots groups working to address themes highlighted in the
performance. The “solution-cipher” forum will illuminates solutions and
efforts that are already underway and cross-pollinate creative
strategies for self-determination, turning passion generated in the
show into community action.<br>
<br><i>“This show is not an event to be missed! It has been described
as "life-changing" by so many. It will blow your mind and feed your
spirit. See you all there!”</i> Julian Rodríguez-Drix, Alliance for Climate Education, Providence, RI<br>
<br><i>“A great performance! I saw it in August in New York City. If you can make it, you won't be disappointed!” </i>Madelyn Hoffman, Director New Jersey Peace Action <br><br><i>“Hurricane
Season pounds with intensity and fierceness and love. Naima and Alixa
are truly forces of nature, delivering a performance that will move you
to tears and action.” </i>Tia Lessin & Carl Deal, Directors of “Trouble in the Water” & producers of “Fahrenheit 9-11”<br>
