Firstly, we have, ‘The Night of Reckoning,’ created by Lloyd Curtis and devised by the BMC theatre company. Next up is ‘Farther,’ a piece by Seun Okewole. Finally, we have ‘What a Man’s Got To Do,’ by Fidel Asante. These pieces touch on topical issues that are relevant to black and brown men and their communities, and there will also be an interactive Q and A session accompanying these performances. The three pieces will be performed at 11.00am and all three will be repeated again at 2.00pm.” This community engagement event immerses you in film, interactivity, debate and includes improvisation. With a fantastic cast of performers, this interactive performance takes you into dimensions you have never seen, forcing you to consider the sometimes uneasy question of “what is needed to improve the lives of Black & Brown men in the UK?” More info The Black Men’s Consortium Performance Event Tate Streatham Library Saturday, October 26 · 11am – 4pm About the BMC The Black Men’s Consortium is a community-led exploration arts and health project in which Black & Brown men meet to experience positive and meaningful interactions and discuss issues that matter to them.
