Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
A poet, playwright and activist, Sanchez emerged as a seminal figure in the 1960s Black Arts Movement, writing in the name of black culture, civil rights and women’s liberation.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
