About
“In language that is by turns blunt and poetic, crudely funny and incantatory,
Ms. Okpokwasili conjures and probes this adolescent friendship, a jumble of
insults, anger and love... A magnetic performer.“ – The New York Times
A solo creation at the intersection of theater, dance
and visual art installation, Bronx Gothic gives palpable
force to the charged relationship between two girls
on the verge of adolescence in 1980s outer-borough
New York City--where Newports are bought in singles
at the corner bodega, sex saturated notes are passed
in class, and Orchard Beach erupts in flame.
Okwui Okpokwasili’s acclaimed piece has been hailed
as a breakthrough work. Hers is a performance of
psychic and physical collisions that threaten to break
the body—an unflinching look into the exquisite
turbulence of one woman’s memory. Created in
collaboration with designer Peter Born, Bronx Gothic
draws inspiration from Victorian-era novels and West
African griot storytelling to reveal a dark and powerful
tale of sexual awakening, the body in transformation
and the humor, love, strangeness and even terror that
accompany it.
