Maroons

Maroons is a genre-bending theatrical performance that reimagines the history of marronage (resisting or liberating oneself from slavery) as a living, time-bending practice of escape and collective freedom. The performance blends theater, music, choreography, and visual spectacle to create an immersive world where history fractures and reassembles with maroons like Harriet Tubman. Maroons transforms the stage into a portal and invites the audience into a space filled with new possibilities emerging from the refusal of oppressive systems. Set in 1833 and beyond, the work opens with a real runaway slave advertisement and blossoms into a layered journey following Eve and Celine, two women who refuse the conditions imposed on them and make a daring escape toward a hidden colony of maroons. Along the way, they encounter shifting timelines, ancestral voices, and a network of maroons who exist across the past, present, and future. Their journey is guided by coded messages and ritual, revealing freedom as something built in movement and refusal. The production is presented at The Ford in Los Angeles, CA.
