Sonoma State University - Associated Students Productions is thrilled
to announce the North Bay premier of the Traveling Jewish Theater
and Epic Art's Bright River. This groundbreaking work, which mixes
beatboxing, classical instuments, rap as a narrative forum, and
Jewish and Greek mythology, is a hip-hop retelling of Dante's Inferno
by a traditional storyteller, Tim Barsky, with a live soundtrack
performed by some of the best hip-hop and klezmer musicians in the
Bay Area. A dizzying theatrical journey through a world spinning
helplessly out of control, the show sends audiences on a mass- transit
tour of the Afterlife. Guided by a fixer named Quick, and moving
through an urban landscape that is at once both intensely real and
fantastic, the show is a deep-rooted love story, a profound meditation
on mass transit, and a passionate indictment of the current war
in Iraq.
