Lakaï Dance Theatre presents The Block: An Afro-Musical as part of the 2019–20 MIT Performing series.


In The Block, the street becomes a stage for self-reflection on toxic masculinity, racial profiling, mental health, and violence, all as a means of community improvement. Through hip-hop and Afro-Diasporic movement styles, the performers challenge stigmas on black and brown vulnerability and the difficulties of asking for help. Developed from individual narratives of the director and performers, the script shares personal stories of hardships and triumphs experienced in a tough and violent yet ultimately creative and resilient urban community. The piece includes an original musical score composed by the company.


The Block: An Afro-Musical will premier at MIT on Friday, September 27th and Saturday, September 28th.
