About the event
A new work by Isis Elizabeth
Directed by Lo Williams
Set during the 1995 Chicago Heat Wave, City of Water is a work of poetic realism following a former emcee and her teenage daughter as they navigate survival in a system failing them in real time. When a dangerous piece of her past resurfaces with an opportunity that could change everything, she must choose between escape and survival while her daughter imagines a world beyond the heat.
Presented through Pulse Theatre's New Play Initiative, First Beat and is part of our Immersive Reading Series: Ritual and Rhythm.
