Love in Exile

Set to a jazz accompaniment, the dramatic performance centered on Black love and survival weaves together Bible verses, free-verse and prose Davis wrote for the program, “The Ghetto.” In "The Ghetto," a husband and wife have a gripping conversation about the psychological and physical scars left by systemic oppression. They question if love can thrive in the face of a city's poverty, rats, and official indifference, and if staying tough is enough to survive.
