The premiere challenges the audience to take the conversation beyond the theatre, and out into the world. Through Christian Warnerโ€™s choreographic exploration, he leans on his research of the history of vaudeville and minstrelsy in Kansas City, weaving his narrative within the alluring score by The Black Creatures. Each artist dissects their character roles within the production, pulling from their ancestors, their supportive creative process and their own life experience.
