Grounded in Langston Hughes’ 1935 poem, “Let America Be America” merges spoken word and dance. The work is inspired by chants of “Make America Great Again,” posits the premise that America has never been great…for all. Salon #2 is an intimate presentation of excerpts from the full work, in homage to the salons of the Harlem Renaissance featuring spoken word by spoken word artists Theo Langason and Jandeltha Rae; with musical score by Queen Drea. Join Threads to explore what it means and will mean for America to truly be America, and share your ideas with the creators about what you‘ve seen and how it relates to what America is to you.
