Thu. May 22, 2008

Fusing literary and performance art, coupled with music & movement, the Kuumba Lynx Performance Ensemble (KLPE) presents a fierce Hip-Hop Theatre production.

Overview

Kuumba Lynx takes the audience on a journey to embrace the wisdom of the elders while forming a unified voice for the often misrepresented worlds of Chi-Town youth. The sixty minute show consists of a montage of shorts, vignettes, and emotional portraits leading to intergenerational self-discovery, identity and empowerment.

Kuumba Lynx is an arts-in-education, not-for-profit organization working to provide access to cross-cultural and interdisciplinary arts while building community. Kuumba Lynx seeks to empower youth by developing programs that preserve, promote and present urban (Hip-Hop) culture, both as an artistic aesthetic and as a social justice movement.
