HALIFAX FRINGE FESTIVAL
Fresh from a sold-out run at SummerWorks Performance Festival (Toronto) and winner of the New Performance Text Award, The Negroes Are Congregating stops in Halifax for the Fringe Festival, the second last stop in their 4-city tour.
The play asks a lot of impolite questions about the ongoing effects of racism and how that ideology continues to exists in Canada and around the world. Canadian-Jamaican writer, Natasha Adiyana Morris, infuses a taste of Toronto that incorporates accents, landmarks and a sort of local trivia often ignored by mainstream media. Themes of physical, mental, and spiritual freedom cycle from beginning to end.
“Talking about race is exhausting and so I wanted to form my thoughts into live characters, displaying multiple sides of the race conversation. Some characters are full-on revolutionaries, others are complacent, there are parodies and plenty of satire but it ALL reflects uncomfortable truths.”
Produced by Troy De Four; Written and Directed by Natasha Adiyana Morris; Performed by Angaer Arop, David Delisca, and Dennis W. Langley
