My Mamma and The Full-Scale Invasion
War in the Modern World, dramatically recalls the absolute comedé of a Nuclear Fallout, poetically situated within the duration of a phone call. The humor and seriousness of knowing this takes place during the Russian-Ukranian war, while the domestic life during war reveals unusual behavior.

In a cycle of festivals, and programming which brings a global village to the stages across many different cultures beginning to form multicultural communication deepening our understanding of spirituality. Multiculturalism in the ceremonial arts takes the mode of theater to more practical lenses. Probes into the land, the people, and culture of place over time in a kind of anthropologist. Le Sacre de la Lila Ismaël Mouaraki takes in the sound familiar to him, through Moroccan Gnawa traditional rhythm and drumming. Where the origin of a sacred festival of light for Islamic prayers call to a sensual being in knowing their surroundings and spirituality.
after experiencing Somi Music in 2021, and anticipation for The New York Theater Workshop production of “Dreaming Zenzile: The Reimagination of Miriam MaKeba,” I was motivated to look at the History of American Musicals, the History of Africa and Jazz Music.
The Half-God of Rainfall(2023), by Inua Ellams, was an episode of transcultural myth for a wide audience that internal personal trauma appears ancestral. Thematically the play used many subtextual references to discuss the Yoruban Gods and Goddess as popular culture and the Other. The poem directed our attention to such themes as sports, mythology, the African diaspora, religion, and gender in Ellams’s epic poem produced by the New York Theater Workshop.
A Personal Essay into multiple themes and layers of experimental theater in the form of an epic poem.

Theatre InterAct : The Last Parade & The Last Yiddish Speaker
The Last Parade, performed in February 2023 by playwright Stephanie Satie and The Last Yiddish Speaker by Deborah Zoe Laufer from 2024 were two episodes into the jarring realism in theatre. Both based on Jewish heritage, anti-semitism, and political instability of bipartisan nationalism. The Jewish pograms from Bolshevik- Soviets and Communist led invasions that desecrated Jewish communities in order to win over the masses. And the American political crisis of 2024, following the 2021 insurrection on Capital Hill led by the unspeakable cou attempt led by a U.S president. The unfathomable likelihood that the hypothetical reality designed to parallel the events of January 6th attacks, picture this play by Laufer- a scape goat that labels a group of people as the resistance or opposition to a ruling right-wing party.
Dan Hodge stars in the realist imagining of a father and daughter hiding from the regulations of the new regime after the January 6th insurrection on the U.S. Capital.
