Festival
Where we stand determines what we perceive; whether as earthlings enthralled by the vastness of space or as space amused by the minutia of earth bellowing with all its gargantuan drama. In that drama of the human species, our central conflict is fueled by who we think we are versus what we perceive others as.
We all stand at a precipice where we can soar higher with an open mind or sink deeper with a narrow view.
In On the Precipice of Perception, poet and playwright Chief Moomen presents a storytelling act masterfully crafted with sound, sight and step. He draws from his ancient West African griot traditions together with contemporary styles in a captivating mélange that takes audiences through time, place, and space in a rousing journey of inquiry, provocation, celebration, and perhaps resolution.
