Dear Reader, Every now and again I'll post something that is not free and costs more than ten bucks and this is indeed one of those post worthy events! I saw this performance last time the show was in town and I loved it! "Hurricane Season" is a unique performance piece - a mix of poetry, movement, education, video projection, shadow, storytelling and of course, deeper symbolism. I found the experience as an audience member deeply human, inspiring, informative, magical and multi-layered. Though it is not free - it's a performance you won't forget and I have a feeling that you'll feel good about spending your money on this one. In DC for Two Nights Only!

"Alixa and Naima, the Brooklyn-based, internationally- acclaimed performance duo Climbing PoeTree, are on tour with a transformative two-woman show that seeks not to captivate audiences, but to liberate them. Through a tapestry of spoken-word poetry, film, dance, shadow art, and a sound collage of personal testimonies, Hurricane Season connects the issues that surfaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the "unnatural disasters" unfolding nationwide and worldwide on a daily basis. Unflinching and uplifting, raw and deeply moving Hurricane Season takes audiences on voyages of unthinkable tragedy and undeniable promise from the eye of a systemic storm."
