“In The Blood” – Nadir’s Music Featured in Experimental Detroit Play
December 29th, 2009
On January 8-10, 2010, experimental Detroit theater company 4THEATRSAKE stages a unique presentation of In The Blood. “Poverty exotica” rules Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan Lori-Parks’ modern day adaptation of The Scarlet Letter.
This urban theater project is a collaboration between 4TheatrSake, the 1440 Collective, the Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center, the Cedi Collection, Detroit film-maker Ryan Myers and Plowshares Theater Company. Directed by Wyldchild L. Chemist, the soundtrack for this staging features original music by Nadir Omowale.
Written like final round slam poetry, In the Blood keeps it real in the “here and now.” Hester is a homeless single mother who is devoted to her five children, and struggles to find ways to feed them. Five actors play her five young treasures. The same actors also play the adults who help or hinder Hester in her quest to “get a leg up”. Lovingly comical moments are juxtaposed by the harsh world of poverty in this modern masterpiece.
