A work of magical realism narrated by and featuring the viewpoints of six women, Marks of RED is a continuation of award-winning choreographer Shamel Pitts’ research exploring Black embodiment, aliveness and human connection.
The piece is an Afrofuturistic meditation on the “womb space,” divining the effect memory has on our experiences, senses, bodies, reality and imaginative possibilities.
The multidisciplinary work includes scenic designs by Mimi Lien, video mapping projection by Lucca Del Carlo, lighting design by Sarai Frazier and production by TRIBE arts collective. The fourth chapter in the RED Series by Pitts, Marks of RED explores the nuanced multiplicity and deep complexity of self-expression, and the perceived spaces for regeneration, enfoldment, implosion, rupture and potential.
