Throwing SHADE has become one of the most universally used slang phrases this season and in honor of that, BLACK IRISH intends to throw some massive SHADE!
BLACK IRISH will focus on several social scenarios that all people deal with on a regular basis, that SHADE could perhaps be thrown at figuratively and literally. The premiere will explore friendships, strangers, lovers, exes and those that we can’t see or touch, while the dancers and audience are immersed in a world of color, vibration, smell, sound and feeling. If one could smell color, hear color, feel color and see vibrations in color beyond just seeing the obvious, it’s SHADE, what would that experience be like? This neurological phenomenon is known as Synesthesia. We realize most people are not normally cognitively equipped with Synesthesia attributes, but by watching the BLACK IRISH debut each audience member will become a temporary Synesthete for the evening!
The Music will seem vaguely familiar, but refreshingly abstract as each composed musical aspect is a deconstructed and reformatted pop, jazz, hip hop or country tune representing, you guessed it, a SHADE of color. Music is composed and manipulated by William Purgason of Citizen Shade, while the music concept is contributed by Ronald West.
Tickets left at Will Call may be picked up at the Cary Arts Center box office beginning one hour prior to the show.
