For One Night Only
One of this country's leading contemporary artists, Marc Bamuthi Joseph will be performing at the renowned Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
Bamuthi uses theater, West African, tap and modern dance, spoken word poetry and live music to stretch the boundaries of traditional hip-hop and create a new forum for expression.
This performance will feature excerpts from Bamuthi's evening length works "Word Becomes Flesh," "Scourge," and the 2008 premiere, "the break/s," as well as debuting exciting new work.
