Play: "The Circle Unbroken is a Hard Bop" presented by 651 ARTS written by Sekou Sundiata
Sekou Sundiata’s seminal work The Circle Unbroken is a Hard Bop (1992) will be re-imagined and directed by Kamilah Forbes. This multilayered performance work, which propelled Sundiata into the world of theater, tells a story of three African American artists—an expatriate dancer, a poet, and a musician—who come of age during the political and cultural movements of the late 1960’s and ‘70s.
The Circle Unbroken is a Hard Bop is being presented by 651 ARTS and is also part of a New York City Wide Retrospective produced by MAPP International. The work will be directed by Kamilah Forbes and features Carvens Lissant, Traci Tolmaire and Craig MuMs Grant with choreography from Adia Whitaker. Tickets are: $10 and will take place at LIU's Kumble Theater. For more information visit: www.651ARTS.org.
