The Adams Theatre presents powerful works about masculinity & racism Sat., Sept. 7 at 7:30pm.
The Adams Theater is proud to present movement art and dance company Baye & Asa on Saturday, September 7, at 7:30 p.m. The company, directed by Amadi ‘Baye’ Washington and Sam ‘Asa’ Pratt, will present two thought-provoking and impactful pieces, “Suck it Up” and “Second Seed.” TIX HERE
“Suck it Up” is a duet confronting the violent fallout of male insecurity and entitlement; “Second Seed” is a short film responding to D.W. Griffith’s 1915 silent film The Birth of a Nation, based on Thomas Dixon’s novel The Clansman. It confronts the myth of Griffith’s “helpless white minority,” and the cult of white-victimhood’s enduring impact on American polity. A Q&A will follow the performance and the screening.
Amadi and Sam will be in Adams as part of a residency at the theater’s Incubator, which invites artists from the Berkshires and beyond to use our physical space to develop bold, original works that foster cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaborations. The Adams Incubator is supported via grant funding from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
