Prophetika: An Oratorio is a new experimental stage production by director Charlotte Brathwaite. The short of it: Prophetika is an interdisciplinary performance based meditation on freedom and liberation. It is a production that is not immediately easy to grasp and as a result, I have found it a bit difficult to write about my viewing experience. So, I created a list of elements that “worked” well and a list describing parts of the production that left me with questions. Instead of trying to package that list into a fancy narrative, I thought it best for the compilation to serve as my review of sorts. Clear, concise, and to the point. I hope.
