Shamel Pitts | TRIBE: Marks of RED

“Virtuosic and unrelenting.” —LA Dance Chronicle

Marks of RED is a visceral journey of rupture and rebirth. Led by dancer/choreographer Shamel Pitts, the piece explores the multiplicities within Blackness. Anchored in the distinctive Gaga movement style in which Pitts was trained, an all-femme cast of dancers gather to create a cocoon-like space for profound transformation. Drawing inspiration from sumo wrestling, butoh dance, and techno music, Pitts molds ritual, movement, and sound into an Afrofuturist meditation on Black embodiment.

This world premiere is the final installment in the Walker and Northrop’s three-year partnership with Pitts.

Copresented and co-commissioned with Northrop.
