Hurricane
Season:
the Hidden Messages in Water
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 7:00PM
Alixa Garcia and Naima Penniman, the Brooklyn-based, internationally-acclaimed
performance duo Climbing PoeTree, make a tour stop in Boston
with a ground-breaking two-woman show that obliterates the
boundaries between performance and activism.
Created
by spoken-word/performance artists and activists Alixa and
Naima, Hurricane Season: The Hidden Messages in Water
interweaves spoken word poetry, sound collage, shadow art,
dance, film and animation to explore critical issues facing
humanity through the kaleidoscope of Hurricane Katrina and
its aftermath. A riveting story about unnatural disaster and
a great shift in universal consciousness, Hurricane Season
connects 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. A “solutions-cipher” follows every
show where audience members participate in a dialog featuring
local grassroots organizations, visionaries, and healers to
draw vital connections between shared struggles and common
solutions in a critical moment in human history.
