Ashes of Moons
By Antonio Duke
Directed by James Austin Williams
January 11 – 20, 2018
Ashes of Moons is an examination of adoption through spoken word poetry, African mask work, and hip hop dance. It will tell three stories centered on motherlessness; the first comes from the Yoruba people, the second comes from the Odyssey, and the third focuses on the relationship between himself, his siblings and their biological mother.
