Philly's HURRICANE SEASON: The hidden messages in water

Alixa and Naima, the Brooklyn-based, internationally acclaimed performance duo, Climbing PoeTree (www.climbingpoetree.com), are on tour with a ground-breaking, multi-media show that obliterates the boundaries between performance and activism.

@The Rotunda
4014 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Doors at 6:45,
showtime 7:00 p.m.

Through a tapestry of spoken-word poetry, video projection, dance, shadow art, and a sound collage of personal testimonies, Hurricane Season connects the issues that surfaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the unnatural disasters disenfranchised communities are experiencing nationwide and worldwide on a daily basis.

Hurricane Season tackles global warming, environmental injustice, policing, prisons, militarization, corporate domination, gentrification, and displacement as they manifest from one gulf to another, with a powerful tale of resistance, resilience, creativity and survival.

Rhythmic and uplifting, revealing and deeply moving, Hurricane Season seeks not to captivate audiences, but to liberate them.

Hurricane Season is touring the nation in a vehicle that runs on recycled vegetable oil. Climbing Poetree began this journey on the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (August 29, 2008) and will hit over 50 cities by the end of 09'
