‘Live! The Realest MC’ references our own humanity in this digital age, creating an abstracted and humorously dark narrative that places the iconic childhood character, Pinocchio, in an industrial dystopia. Inspired by Pinocchio’s plight to be a ‘real boy,’ Abraham’s ensemble dance work investigates gender roles in the black community and the quest for acceptance in the world of hip-hop celebrity.
See ‘Live! The Realest MC’ at the McCullough Theater in Austin, TX, on September 29 and 30.
