Synopsis

‘X’, an unassuming Black man, encounters ‘da spirit of the struggle’, an entity that transmits the knowledge of Black resistance through a mural in Toronto. Having received centuries of knowledge in seconds, he must find his role while learning the personal consequences of activism.

The show is a celebration of Toronto Blackness and activism using rap, dance, spoken word, and graffiti. Come feel “da spirit” with us. (fringetoronto.com)
