SKiNFoLK: An American Show Summary

SKiNFoLK: An American Show by Jillian Walker

SKiNFoLK: An American Show by Jillian Walker Is a quilted ritual of liberation, bearing witness to the playwright-performers identity, heritage and legacy as a Black woman in this America. This ancestor-revering epic collides with blues, jazz, neosoul, pop, rock, and spiritual Black legacies. What will you see in the archive? Who will you meet? What is down at the root? What color is the sky, again?

SKiNFoLK: An American Show Reviews

"A sensuous evening filled with the promise of mutability, an existence without the restraints of what our skin color binds us to."
"A buoyant experimental cabaret of Black womanhood." * Vulture *
