NY-NAASC Night at Watch Night

  • Perelman Performing Arts Center 251 Fulton Street New York, NY, 10007 United States (map)

Not so long ago and in a place not so far away, an AME church and a synagogue stand next to each other. Both are targets of deadly hate crimes only days apart. An opportunistic reporter is there to break the news with a sensational story of American racism and rage. Beyond the headlines, the congregants are left to process the violence that has shattered the places where they pray, and to ask themselves, how do we choose faith in the face of hatred? What is the value of justice and is there peace in forgiveness?

Join the NY-NAASC as we check out the PAC NYC World Premiere from the acclaimed artistic team of Tony Award-winning choreographer / dancer / director / writer Bill T. Jones (Fela!, Spring Awakening), poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph (Morehouse Alum) (We Shall Not Be Moved), composer Tamar-kali (Mudbound) and dramaturg Lauren Whitehead (Between the World and Me: Onstage at the Apollo). Watch Night fuses melodies rooted in Spirituals, percussive breath and fiery opera with the urgency of slam poetry and Bill T. Jones’ dynamic staging to create a sonically explosive round of American hope that refuses to forget while striving to forgive.
