Hello folks!

I have the responsibility to let you know of two wonderful artists
coming to DC this Wednesday and Thursday. Below are the details. I
haven't yet seen the show, but hear RAVE reviews all around and hope
to see it this week. Mixing shadow, projection, poetry, to tell a
story of the people of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina.

Alixa and Naima, the Brooklyn-based, internationally- acclaimed
performance duo Climbing PoeTree, are on tour with a transformative
two-woman show that seeks not to captivate audiences, but to liberate
them. Through a tapestry of spoken-word poetry, film, 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" unfolding nationwide and
worldwide on a daily basis. Unflinching and uplifting, raw and deeply
moving Hurricane Season takes audiences on voyages of unthinkable
tragedy and undeniable promise from the eye of a systemic storm.
