Through the metaphor of “gray space” and “blue skies,” this performance journey—driven by original marimba compositions blending African diasporic traditions—moves from melancholy reflection to a place of acceptance, unity, and joy. With layered choreography and a transformative emotional arc, the piece delves into the inner dialogue of the conscious creative navigating societal and cultural expectations while offering the audience an opportunity to reflect on the complexities of identity, self-expression, and community care.
