About

Experience a powerful new performance by María Magdalena Campos-Pons, exploring her vision of radical love as a force for healing and transformation. Renowned for her ability to turn public spaces into arenas of communal reflection, Campos-Pons collaborates with composer and multi-instrumentalist Kamaal Malak, a former member of seminal hip-hop group Arrested Development. Together they weave music, movement, and ritual into a poignant experience that invites audiences to reflect on loss, resilience, and regeneration, especially in the wake of recent tragic fires in Los Angeles.

Featuring performers Dell Hamilton, Helina Metaferia, Coco Villa, Temeka Gaither-Brown, Peyton Brown, and LaTasha Diggs, with musicians Samuel Alexandre, Kevin Jackson, KayShyne, and Calvin Rodgers.
