poetry written by: Daniel Beaty "Run Black Man Run"
(narrated by Danzel Thompson Stout)
A tale of a black man’s plight. His dreams haunted by the possibility of freedom. Rooted in blood and ancestral memory. Plight is a visceral, visual journey into the depths of exhaustion, of what fighting oppression can look like in a black moving body searching for physical and metaphysical liberation. In stride with a passionate narration of Daniel Beaty’s “Run Black Man, Run,” this short dance film was inspired by Henry Box Brown, a Virginia born slave who mailed himself to freedom. The movement composed in the tight space of a shipping container heightened by the sound and visuality of the gumboot dance of South Africa, summons the Legend of the Igbos who ran, flew, & swam back to Africa, as they resisted the physical and psychological shackles imposed in America during slavery. What choice did a (hu)man have, but to “run”?
