Rock Bottom Movement’s surrealist mandate is on full display in this 15-dancer fantasia, which begins with an invitation to let go: “The only thing you need to know is not to know anything at all,” pronounces the Mayor of Sex Dalmatian, the evening’s narrator and the mayor of the titular canine’s mind.
“Politician, yuh have to listen.” “No borders on stolen land.” “No genocide inna Gaza.” These are just three of the rallying cries featured on signs held by picketers in word! sound! powah!, the final installation of d’bi young anitafrika’s Sankofa Trilogy.
