I Heard the Voice
I Heard The Voice is a live performance in honor of King's distinct poetic voice that swelled the calmest streams and quelled the most ferocious despair. Using storytelling, dance, hymns, soundscapes and projection, Amari Amai will take the audience on a journey through the 1968 West Side riots following King's assasination in hopes of landing on sweeter mountaintops of collective healing, release, and renewed joy.

Sky Fulla Angels
Sky Fulla Angels is a re/naming ritual and reckoning that explores the connections between queer renaming, colonial renaming, and Black naming practices. Using storytelling, poetry, soundscapes, Kora music, projections and more, Amari will lead us all through an experience that will allow you to re/name yourself and the worlds you inhabit, so that you may see yourself and others for who they truly are.

Altar of the Afrotransfuture
Where The Wiz and Zora's Mules and Men meet, Altar of the Afrotransfuture, is an invitation to an Afrofuture where Black trans folks are at the center of a magical, reimagined world. Inspired by Black American Folklore, the audience will be guided through non-linear time to partake in the makings of an Afrotransfuture full of queer folklore, ancestral embodiment, poetry, soundscapes, and storytelling that will beckon you home. The makings of this future requires revisiting the past and excavating all that we've known to be true about Black gender oppression and expression. Won't you join us here - a future where we can live, and live fully?
