A groundbreaking work in American theatre, This presentation is a choreopoem—a fusion of poetry, dance, music, and drama—that gives voice to the raw, unfiltered experiences of seven Black women. Each woman, known only by a color, weaves together her personal journey through love, loss, empowerment, struggle, and resilience.

Set in a visually striking “night at the museum” concept, these women step in and out of life-size portrait frames, reclaiming their stories and identities in bold, living color. With the rhythmic heartbeat of a live African drummer guiding their truth-telling, the stage becomes a sacred space for healing, celebration, and sisterhood.

Ntozake Shange’s timeless masterpiece is as urgent today as it was at its debut—an unflinching, poetic exploration of what it means to be Black, a woman, and free.
