Universes
Slanguage
Five multitalented young South Bronx performers break boundaries-and break down the theater establishment's doors. Fusing poetry, jazz, hip-hop, gritty blues, and Spanish boleros with social conscience and politics, Universes straddles theater and the street with humor and emotional truth. They draw on sources as wildly diverse as childhood rhymes, Dr. Seuss, the Nuyorican poetry slam tradition, the sounds of the subway, the writing of Jack Kerouac, and Bruce Lee films. Challenging and entertaining, Universes' spontaneous energy makes for a super-charged theatrical event.
