Inspired by a real-life incident, the show explores a community's decision to allow a trans spirit access to the land of the dead.
Jermaine Rowe's One Man show "Transition" will present on January 31 - February 03. Using dance, music, projection design, storytelling and a live DJ Transition (DJgazatwin) audiences will be invited into a contemporary Jamaican A Ni-night - a folkloric ritual usually performed on the 9th Night after the passing of a family/community member -(wake).
In his work, Jermaine Rowe explores a community's decision to allow a Trans spirt access the land of the dead. The work is inspired by real life incident of a trans woman who was killed in Jamaica after going to a dancehall party in female presenting clothes.
The work features a 15min pre-show Ni-Night installation featuring Earla Duana, Yoshihiro Takemasa, Jabokie Mattis, Dean Robinson and Johnnoy Johnson. Lighting by LW Miller. Additional Composition support by Alan Clauss. Photography by Hector Malave.
