This solo musical and narrative stage show is a collection of seemingly unrelated stories and anecdotes that swirl and dance with a live musical score created through looped trumpet, clarinet, and drums. From acclaimed Seattle musician and writer Ahamefule J. Oluo (Now I’m Fine; Susan at On the Boards), this dark and humorous, uplifting and bleak, deep and silly work is about trying and failing to find order in chaos.
This piece contains themes of parental absence, complex family dynamics, isolation and abandonment, racial identity, cultural conflict, mortality, illness and loss, strong language, and COVID-19. This performance may contain lighting effects, loud volumes, and haze.
