Cry to the world/That all might understand:/I was once a black clown/But now—/I’m a man! Fusing vaudeville, gospel, opera, jazz, and spirituals, The Black Clown brings Langston Hughes’s famed 1931 poem to life in a stunning new music-theater piece. Powerful and prescient, the experience of a Black man’s resilience against a legacy of oppression unfolds, featuring baritone Davóne Tines in the title role. He’s joined by an ensemble of 12 and a chamber orchestra performing a vibrant score by Michael Schachter.
Performance length: 70 minutes, no intermission
Post-performance talk with Davone Tines, Zack Winokur, and Chanel DaSilva discussion Thursday July 25
“Pure poetry… The cast spun, stomped, and soared through songs of joy, grief, and rage.”– Boston Globe
