Vessels is a seven-woman harmonic meditation on the transcendental possibilities of song during the Middle Passage, instigated by Rebecca Mwase, co-shaped by Ron Ragin with set design by Jeff Becker. Experienced within an interactive and acoustically rich sculptural environment that invokes those infamous ships, this interdisciplinary ritual performance explores singing as a survival tool and asks, “What does freedom sound like in a space of confinement?” The piece will premier in October 2018 in New Orleans and then tour to port cities that were active during the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Beginning in Spring 2019
