and
Hip-Hop Theater Festival
present
by EISA DAVIS
directed by LIESL TOMMY
with Kim Brockington, Denise Burse,
Eisa Davis, Ayesha Ngaujah and Linda Powell
"On this mixtape, style will dictate,
we bounce back and forth in time..."
Using the rhythms of music and memory, Eisa Davis tells the story of a radical upbringing on the dividing line between Oakland and Berkeley, California -- in a family that includes her aunt, professor and activist Angela Davis.
Time shifts between the 70s, 80s, and 90s as smoothly as a DJ fading from song to song. Each track, each memory, has a built-in switch to the next, for theatrical momentum that keeps on building.
The music crosses styles and decades, but it's hip-hop and a b-girl stance that keeps the piece bouncing in the present.
