Bessie Award-winning dancer/choreographer and former Urban Bush Women star Nora Chipaumire continues her examination of race and gender in this profound and highly-personal work, which considers the African male (and the father she never knew) through the lens of colonialism, Christianity and liberation struggles. Tethered together in a boxing ring, she and Senegalese dancer Pape Ibrahima Ndiayeare dance, struggle, and fight against prejudices, pressures, and the weight of traditions and history, as Jamaican-born, Brooklyn-based dancer Shamar Watt, cheers and coaches from the corner.
"A no-holds-barred look at masculinity in African culture and the African male body in American culture." - The New York Times
