"A stylish Afrofuturist vision."– The New Yorker

Fearless and profound dancer-choreographer Shamel Pitts delivers a visionary production that transports audiences across space and time into an Afrofuturist dimension. A trio of Black performers shares the stage in a narrative of unity, vigor, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music, sound samples, and spoken word, the dancers embark on an hour-long, uninterrupted journey in movement in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections. It’s a kaleidoscopic performance art experience built from the Gaga movement language, developed by the prolific Batsheva Dance Company in Israel, where Shamel danced for seven years under choreographer Ohad Naharin.
