Critical and political, haunting and poetic, "Word Becomes Flesh" is a powerhouse theatrical narrative that integrates live music, dance, spoken word, and hip-hop culture. Written and directed by Marc Bamuthi Joseph, one of America's vital voices in performance and arts education, the piece features five performers and a live DJ creating fiery movements and passionate slam poetry to explore race, patriarchy, bodily ownership, and the cleansing power of new beginnings.
