Presented by The Apollo & National Black Theatre

Commissioned by The Apollo’s Harlem 100 initiative

Written, Directed and Choreographed by Apollo New Works Artist Ebony Noelle Golden

Featuring Jupiter Performance Studio
‍

Fresh off the success of 125th & Freedom comes The Divining: Ceremonies from in the name of the m/other tree, conceived and curated by Ebony Noelle Golden, a powerful series of ritual performances, processions, and visual installations that invite you to experience the intersection of art, activism, and spirituality. 

‍

Guided by the wisdom of ancestors and the urgency of now, this theatrical ceremony combines movement, poetry, percussion and visual art in a call to reclaim our connection to the land and to each other. The Divining: Ceremonies in the name of the m/other tree weaves together the rhythms of climate change, environmental justice, and the deep roots of Harlem's heritage.

‍

‍About the Production:

Feverish floods and land-quakes unfold when three mother trees vanish. The mystical and magical town of Here is swept up in the undertow. Sisters Teeny and Vetiver spiral. The people must decide.  Return to their ancestors’ ways or perish with the faithless.

‍

About Apollo New Works:

The Apollo New Works initiative expands upon The Apollo’s mission to support the creation of new work by Black artists. Emerging and established multidisciplinary artists are commissioned and provided space, time, and resources to create, develop, and present work across The Apollo stages — including The Apollo Stages at The Victoria, which will serve as the main incubation space. Commissioned works will include world premiere performances, festivals, and programs rooted in music, dance, theater, poetry, and more.
