Kyle Abraham's PAVEMENT Dates: Thursday - Friday, November 1 - 2, 2012 Time: 7:30pm Dates: Saturday, November 3, 2012 Time: 3:00pm and 7:30pm Venue: Harlem Stage Gatehouse Price: $30 General / $24 Members
Kyle Abraham/Abraham.In.Motion's newest work, Pavement, draws its inspiration from John Singleton’s 1991 film Boyz n the Hood and W.E.B Dubois classic essay, The Souls of Black Folk. Layered with an operatic score comprised mostly by Handel’s Carestini (The Story of a Castrato) and the gun-laden sounds of an urban landscape, Pavement, examines the gains and losses in the conflicted chronology of two Pittsburgh’s historically black neighborhoods.
Collaborators and Performers: Kyle Abraham, Matthew Baker, Charlotte Brathwaite, Rena Butler, Chalvar Monteiro, Jeremy Neal, Dan Scully, Maleek Washington, Alexandra Wells and Eric Williams
