This global pandemic has highlighted and deepened inequities and injustices targeting already vulnerable members of our society. The recent global movement against systemic racism and police brutality, sparked by the horrific murder of George Floyd right here in our city, has inspired us to stand up, and say Black Lives Matter. The murder and the movement have also made apparent the deep divisions in our country and the rampant misinformation, greed, and hatred that threaten our humanity.
As artists, we are used to processing through our creative work, and this pandemic has grossly limited our ability to respond and perform as we are used to. As the future of performing remains uncertain, we are grieving and also reeling in response to persistent injustice, the proliferation of hate, and our inability to dream beyond tomorrow. We have truths burning within us, waiting to be released. We invite you to join us as we share what we have discussed and discovered together, in “The Burning Truth Project.”
This 90-minute performance is presented by Pangea World Theater as part of the “Another World is Possible: Pangea Artists Respond” series. This cabaret concert will take place in a backyard in Minneapolis before a limited, socially-distant audience. You will receive the event address once you register.
Due to the coronavirus and our commitment to host a safe event for ourselves and our hosts, RSVP is required for all attendees. Please wear masks, and maintain 6’ distance from all other patrons. Some seating options will be available onsite, but feel free to bring camp-chairs or blankets.
This performance will be recorded and premiered on Pangea World Theater’s Facebook Page on Sunday, August 23 at 5pm.
