WORD BECOMES FLESH Hailed as one of the most passionate and engaging among spoken word
performers, Marc Bamuthi Joseph's remarkable talent is laid bare in
Word Becomes Flesh. A fluid choreopoem presented as a series of
performed letters to his unborn son, Word Becomes Flesh, documents
nine months of pregnancy from a young single father's perspective.
In the process, Bamuthi Joseph battles with the reality and
mythology of the black male from the cotton field to the athletic
field to the digital plantation and all spaces in between. "Word
Becomes Flesh is an eloquent autobiographical one-man show. [Bamuthi
Joseph's] remarkable vocal variety and gestural deftness made every
scene come alive" - The New York Times
