NYC TONIGHT: Courtney Bryan and Brandee Younger Return to the Legendary Blue Note

Tonight’s Blue Note Late Set,  is the concert version of PROPHETIKA: an Oratorio. The full piece will be performed at La MaMa Experimental Theatre March 20 – April 05.

PROPHETIKA: Award-winning stage director Charlotte Brathwaite joins forces with eclectic composer/pianist Courtney Bryan and celebrated installation artist Abigail DeVille in a sonically stimulating, visually spectacular experience.

Part theatrical event, part visual art installation, part ritual ceremony, Prophetika: An Oratorio proposes a mythical cosmology of colliding reflections on freedom and a view of the current state of our world. Inspired by Harriet Tubman’s journey from enslavement to liberation; the cosmic philosophies and improvisational style of Sun Ra; Alice Coltrane’s consciousness rising devotional music and the mysterious invading black monoliths in Stanley Kubrick’s classic sci-fi film 2001: Space Odyssey. It unfolds as a countdown to tomorrow, a road map to human destiny, a quest for the infinite from within. #ProphetikaLive
