A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...the New York premiere of her latest full-length offering, I AM. After disrupting our collective understanding of the past through dance with her much-lauded trilogy on race, culture, and identity at the storied venue over the last decade, Brown continues her mission to shine a bright light on Black joy in this invigorating new work. Inspired by a narrative in the HBO series “Lovecraft Country” and the rhythms of the movie Drumline, I AM picks up where ink, the conclusion of Brown’s trilogy, left off. The piece blasts audiences into a universe where anything is possible through various dance and music genres of the African Diaspora. Featuring live, original music by Deah Love Harriott, Juliette Jones, Jaylen Petinuad, and Martine Wade, the evening imagines a creative space for cultural liberation and launches queries into the possibilities of the imagination that boldly investigate the future..."
