Enter the private world of a charged relationship between two girls on the verge of adolescence in 1980s outer-borough New York City—where single Newports are bought at the corner bodega, sex-saturated notes are passed in class, and Orchard Beach erupts in flames. Playing at the intersection of dance, theater, and visual art installation, Bronx Gothicdraws inspiration from Victorian-era novels and West African griot storytelling to reveal a tale of sexual awakening with humor, love, strangeness, terror—and mesmerizing physicality by a fearless mover.
Bronx Gothic by Okwui Okpokwasili will be performed at FringeArts (140 N. Columbus Boulevard) on March 11 and 12 at 8:00pm. Click here for more information.
