Passage is thrilled to welcome Theodore A. Harris and his presentation of OUR FLESH OF FLAMES: COLLAGES BY THEODORE A. HARRIS AND CAPTIONS BY AMIRI BARAKA on July 11!

Theodore A. Harris is a collagist and poet, and in this presentation, will share excerpts of his collaborations with the late Amiri Baraka. “Posed against an eerily iridescent orange sky,” Harris’ collaged landscapes are filled with urban dystopia. Upside down capitols and distorted bank notes pose the reality of a society fettered by the cash nexus. Controversial critic and poet Amiri Baraka provides lyrical assault through his captions with his trademark humor and biting social commentary.

Passage is thrilled to welcome June Ballinger and her solo performance of her play CRONE BARRIER on July 10 and July 11!

For 70 years June has been told she doesn’t feel things the way normal people should. So she looks up—to the cosmos —searching for answers to big questions. When she’s dragged into a women’s sexual empowerment workshop, an unruly inner landscape of memory, humor, and a cryptic Virgin Mary cracks open. June begins to suspect that what everyone called her problem might actually be her power. The question is what is she willing to do with it now?

Passage is thrilled to welcome Zuhairah McGill and her solo performance of Richard LaMonte Pierce’s SOJOURNER on July 11 and 12!

Zuhairah McGill plays Sojourner Truth, the abolitionist, women’s rights activist and author who was born into slavery and eventually became a confidante to Abraham Lincoln and master debater with Frederick Douglass. Now quite old, Sojourner Truth tells the story of her enslavement not in the American South, but in the North, as well as her dramatic escape and subsequent fight to tear down slavery across the country. This devastating yet inspiring tale provides a compelling and personal lens into pre-Civil War America and Sojourner Truth’s extraordinary life.
