Juneteenth Performance in Bristol

Truth: A Biofictional Choreopoem by Gail Burton

When: Friday, June 19th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Where: 21 Lyndon Street, Warren (Former St. Mark's Church on the corner of Lyndon and Broad Streets)

Join us for a special reading of Truth: A Biofictional Choreopoem, a vibrant new play blending spoken word, storytelling, movement, and music to illuminate the lives of Black female freedom fighters. Through the stories of Sojourner Truth, Harriet Bell Hayden, Louisa DeWolfe, and Harriet Tubman, we encounter ancestors who are not confined to the past but alive in our present, still moving through us to direct our future.

Created by playwright Gail Burton, a Harvard-trained weaver of myth, memory, and liberation, a recipient of the Cambridge Peace Award and author of Muses, the work honors resilience, collective memory, and the transformative power of art. The play will feature performances by Dionne Latrice, Cherease Lamm, Chris Everett, and Zahra A. Belyea.
