The duo Brother(hood) Dance! performs two movement portraits featuring stories of Black men and “brotherhood” that challenge assumptions of race, gender, and sexuality.
Orlando Zane Hunter Jr. and Ricarrdo Valentine portray their personal journeys using multimedia, dance, and storytelling. They question and investigate connections to their ancestors and issues of environmental justice as well as the degradation of Black family identity and the government’s role in media production. At the heart of this multidisciplinary meditation are the men’s mothers, who slip through time and space to guide them both in unexpected ways.
