Description
Written & Performed by Kareem M. Lucas
In this BRIClab residency, Kareem M. Lucas will share his new piece, A Warm Winter.
This is a story about a Black man in his late 20s that’s dissatisfied with his own reality and will do anything to escape it, which leads to a drug induced episode where he almost completely loses touch with reality, and once he survives he has a revelation of self that transforms him. This is a story of redemption and renewal of the human spirit. True griot style storytelling that's stripped down to the barest essentials featuring original music to underscore.
