Event Description
The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC presents Blackbird, Fly, September 25, 7:30pm in the intimate Telus Studio Theatre as part of the celebrated Beyond Words Series. Weaving together deeply engaging narrative, movement and music, Emmy-nominated violinist, pianist and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), described as “about as omnivorous as a contemporary artist gets” (New York Times), performs with preeminent spoken word artist and activist Marc Bamuthi Joseph. This profoundly reflective and powerfully uplifting work explores the artists’ Haitian heritage, while delving into universal themes of cultural identity, tolerance and inclusion.
