A DEEP SPACE PERFORMANCE RESIDENCY
"Sometimes the best way to deal with your biggest problem is to avoid it.”
Kareem M. Lucas reanimates the memory of a never-ending NYC night—wild rollercoaster ride through alcohol, drugs, sex, joy, loss, and self-discovery. He weaves together his past and present to interrogate our desperate need for significance, in life, and after death, and mythologizes the everyday experience of a common Black man in America. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT AIN’T ALWAYS PRETTY is an epic poem about fulfilling one’s purpose—if there is any—before one's time runs out. The clock is ticking.
