BLACK BOX: Little Black Book Of RED.

Buoyed by his trademark expressive movement, Shamel Pitts employs spoken word, evocative lighting (created by Israeli Art Director Tom Love), and video to construct a personal, poetic narrative about the search for identity and striving for survival amidst impermanence.

Performed in a confined space in nearly pitch-black darkness, the work features recordings of Pitts’ ruminations jotted down during his travels with Batsheva. Obliquely referencing the flight data recorder, BLACK BOX transcends traditional travel journal format, becoming instead a record of a life as – in a nod to Nina Simone – a “young, gifted and Black” artist, thriving in constant motion.
