With fierce poetry and passionate dance, Marc Bamuthi Joseph's red, black and GREEN: a blues celebrates new definitions of “green” coming from America’s urban communities. Four performers give voice to the eco-disenfranchised in a kinetic performance developed over two years of grassroots research. Set into Theaster Gates’ earthy installation, heightened by vivid films and graffiti murals, red, black and GREEN: a blues posits the idea that valuing your own life, and the life of your community, is the first step to valuing planet Earth.
