The Till Trilogy

Atlas Performing Arts Center
1333 H Street NE Washington

The now legendary story of Emmett Till is believed by many to be the start of the modern civil rights movement of the 1950s and remains one of the most pivotal incidents in a monumental era. This widely acclaimed dramatization recounting the the last two weeks of of young Emmett's life, part history and part ghost story, is a jazz integration of past and present, the living and dead, factual accounts and creative interpolation. Chicago author and director Ifa Bayeza captures the powerful truths at the heart of the story, creating a soaring work of music, brilliant poetry and theatricality.
