Miami Light Project, in partnership with YoungArts, will present “Touch of RED” by Shamel Pitts | TRIBE during a one-week engagement in November 2022. “Touch of RED” is a new evening length performance work that consists of a duet for two men inside of a contemporary ring. The work investigates how Black men can allow themselves to soften, even under extreme pressure and heat. The confined space references a futuristic and voyeuristic gladiator entertainment site in which a heat path between the two performers builds, not out of aggression or combat, but within an enhanced electrifying effeminacy that heals.
Activities include:
- Three evening performances at Miami Theater Center on November 3-5, 2022
- One Invited Dress Rehearsal at Miami Theater Center on November 2, 2022
- One Conversation with Shamel Pitts and company members at Miami Theater Center on November 2, 2022.
