DAY 1
May 4, 2022 @ 7:30PM
Roulette | Brooklyn, NY
Combining word and sound is an ancient practice. The subject matter and sonic environment may vary but it is always compelling. We will ruminate about home, make the mundane more meaningful, witness an imagined dialogue between two Black geniuses, and experience how sound becomes communication. This evening will also feature a World Premiere by one of our esteemed composers.
PROGRAM:
Michele Cheng: Doyennes Diaries
Fernanda Navarro: NEW WORLD PREMIERE
Nyokabi Kariũki: The Colour of Home
Laura Brackney: Knots

*This work will be presented as a sound installation in the Roulette lobby, come early to listen!
