🎥✍️🏾 reposted from @lincolncenter Step right up for a circus like no other! 🎪✨ @mintyfreshcircus is a gravity-defying performance highlighting the healing power of Black music and movement.
Conceived by Monique Martin (@intuitionnyc) in collaboration with a cast of premier circus artists, Minty Fresh Circus is a powerful celebration of freedom, imagination, and legacy!
"Inspired by abolitionist Harriet Tubman and the survival of generations of African Americans, the central question in Minty Fresh Circus is: what does freedom feel & sound like if your only access to it is through your imagination? The journey explores liberation spaces, oasis spaces, and joy spaces where black & brown bodies have found sovereignty. The show celebrates the power of Black music as a healing, alchemical, transformative force; a ritual, a portal to joy and an invitation to tap into your imagination. The energy of call-and-response within Black culture serve as a circular structure within the arc of the show: the audience will be engaged with, versus presented to." www.elsieman.org/artist-roster/minty-fresh-circus/
