Sapphire

Thursday – Friday, May 16 & 17 @ 7:30pm

Sapphire is a time traveling golden goddess moving through moments that police and celebrate the Black female essence and experience. She is humanity canvassed in an evolving constellation of identity.  She is a reflection to see you and see through you…a vessel of love, ferocity, magic, grief, and audacity.
