Theatre of War presents FLYING DUTCHMAN

Experimental theater collective, Theatre Of War revives Amiri Baraka's fevered racial allegory for our abnormal times at The Brick Theater in Williamsburg. June 10 at 2pm, June 13 at 9:30pmJune 22 at 7pm$20/ at the door & online The Brick, 575 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211

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.
