“Freedom is not a secret, it’s a practice.”-Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs

Imagine our world as a sanctuary—a brilliant, bioluminescent, biome of Black thriving. This is catalytic vision guiding In The Name Of. Fueled by concepts of “generative apocalypse,” and Black feminist metaphysics, this theatrical ceremony weaves procession, dance, music, and the story of a congregation of “watercarriers,” ocean stewards who, after a catastrophic climate rupture, activate a polyphonic practice of world-making and communal repair in the wake of a new day.
