​

WHAT TO SEND UP WHEN IT GOES DOWN is a community ritual created in response to the deaths of Black people as a result of racialized violence. As lines between characters and actors, observers and observed blur, a dizzying series of vignettes build to a climactic moment where performance and reality collide, highlighting the absurdity of anti-blackness in our society. Through facilitation and dialogue we must decide how to cope, resist and move forward.

​

General admission tickets are $30. As part of The Movement’s Radical Hospitality Initiative to make the show accessible to all, a limited number of tickets will be offered as “pay-what-you-can” for each performance (sign up begins 1 hour prior to the performance and available in person only at the theatre).
