MARC BAMUTHI JOSEPH
the break/s: a mixtape for stage
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco
“…sharp, elegant, and always urgent verse that harnesses the grit and boogie-down power of hip-hop as well as the singular beauty and sophistication of contemporary dance.” —SF Bay Guardian
YBCA has long been committed to supporting the work of electrifying storyteller Marc Bamuthi Joseph. For our season finale, we’re proud to present the break/s, Joseph’s multimedia journey through verse, contemporary dance and video that interweaves his personal story with the history of hip-hop. Inspired by Can’t Stop Won’t Stop by Jeff Chang, the critically acclaimed book about hip-hop music history, Joseph explores trans-nationalism and globalization in relation to hip-hop culture, and digs into the politics surrounding the creation myth of this provocative music form. With a spoken word virtuoso, live music by DJ Excess and Tommy Shepherd aka Soulati, and choreography by Stacy Printz, the break/s is one gigantic live mix.
