Through the vortex of the Black sitcom, soap opera, nostalgia, and war, comes SOUP. These poems, images, choreopoems, and plays seek to find the light— 'Wherever it is. Whatever it is,' says THE FARMER. On the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' there's a live studio audience, police brutality, and a long picket line. In SOUP, we examine what it is to be done with the language of grief and fire. In SOUP, there are rituals, boats, geese, DJing sheep, boys, boys, and boys.
