Choir Boy
I was at the edge of my seat, feeling everything the characters were feeling and at the same time totally captivated by the song and dance and spirit. The storytelling starts in conventional theatrical ways through words and actions, and is carried through to an abstract, raw emotional place with a cappella adaptations of spirituals and sharp, modern and west African inspired dance movements that serve more as extensions of the words than to add aesthetic. It used simple elements to tell a deeply relatable and complex story, proving that the human experience is most effectively shared with nothing more than our words, bodies, vulnerabilities.
Awe inspiring, poignant, riveting, yet oh so funny!
As far as I’m concerned this is a masterpiece! I turned around during the play and my nephews’ jaw had dropped. The piece is monumentally unique, and the a cappella singing gorgeous. The choreography and the ability of these super talented men to play High School Boys was phenomenal. Every actor gave 100%. Lighting, Set and Costume design was superb. I give it 5 stars!!!
