A First Person Arts Festival Raw Event DATE: Thursday, November 15 and Friday, November 16 TIME: 7 PM LOCATION: Christ Church Neighborhood House (20 N. American Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106) COST: $15 ($12 for FPA members) The profound imagery of the noose becomes a portal towards understanding the past and future of the African/Afro/Black experience. Inspired by their personal stories, memories, and dreams, six dancers explore their exposure to this country's traumatic history of lynching and ask the question: what would it take for me to fall in love with the United States? This memoir of healing is told through intense movement, daring text, and jolting humor. Expect a dialogue-provoking night investigating heritage and home through dance. A FlyGround production. Performed by Saroya Corbett, Lela Aisha Jones, Peaches Jones, Oiya Lowe, Maritza Ogarro, and Deneane Richburg. Christ Church Neighborhood House 20 N. American Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 Tickets: $15.
