Nehprii Amenii: Food for the Gods

Performances: Dec 7-9 @7pm & 9pm

A multimedia performance installation about “human value,” Food for the Gods is a three-part expression of rage and indifference. Inspired by the killings of Black men, this work uses object and puppet performance to explore dehumanization, light, invisibility and well…the magical-less-ness of it all.
