Jump-Start Performance Co

Description

With the Iranian Hostage Crisis, the birth of 80s conservatism, and bay area suburban teenage angst as his backdrop, critically acclaimed performance artist Robert Karimi (Def Poetry Jam) tells a remixed autobiographical tale of an Iranian/Guatemalan boy struggling to learn about manhood, nationhood, and neighborhood with the characters and music of his environment helping him along. DJs D Double and Franco de Leon scratch, blend and spin a masterful soundscape of modern music, 80s hip hop, 70s disco, house music, and punk rock. Karimi, D Double and de Leon take us on a journey through disco-filled Mexican restaurants to mixed culture moshpits to breakdancing circles, traversing time through sound. Directed by Ellen Sebastian Chang.
