Angela's Mixtape
Angela's MIXTAPE
Just your average black macrobiotic revolutionary dancing family.
ANGELA'S MIXTAPE is a new play by Eisa Davis, directed by Liesl Tommy. Runs April 6 - May 2 at the Ohio Theater at 66 Wooster Street, NYC.
Using the rhythms of music and memory, Eisa tells the story of a radical upbringing on the dividing line between Oakland and Berkeley, California - in a family that includes her aunt,
professor and activist Angela Davis.
The music crosses styles and decades, but it's hip-hop and a b-girl stance that keeps the piece bouncing in the present.
Time shifts between the 70s, 80s, and 90s as smoothly as a DJ fading from song to song. Each track, each memory, has a built-in switch to the next, for theatrical momentum that keeps on building.
