Installation & Performance
An evening-length performance inspired by Zora Neal Hurtson folktales. Our performance imagines space as a container for a sound collage, memory, and healing. Layering poetry, proverbs, prayers, the sound of the marimba, and oral histories, the performance will express “how it feels to be here on earth or leaving” (Hurston, 2001)
We are Steph Davis, marimbist, composer, Africana studies scholar, and cultural activist, and Dzidzor Azaglo (pronounced Jee-Joh), a Ga-Ewe folklore performing artist who creates immersive experiences that grounds the audience in their own bodies.
