Amiri Baraka's 1964 text serves as foundation for a timely reconstruction examining eloquent blind fury, racial hysteria, sexual hysteria, and white obsession with silencing the black voice/body. (Flying) Dutchman is part ceremony, clown show, rite, and seance created to navigate the haunted, outer reaches of the human psyche. And to conjure up Baraka himself for marching orders, words of wisdom, our final wake up call hoping it will serve as talisman and compass in these abnormal times.
