Two Piece Tuesdays presents Crumbs & Crux
FREE
Join us for a night of writing, Crumbs the film and saucy tunes by the one and only Ingrid Keir. Free.
Voice from the Field – Writing Gathering – 5:30 to 7pm.
Art is very important in our current climate and can give voice to our suffering and triumphs. But there are also those – mental health professionals, social justice lawyers, social service professionals, volunteers etc. – who do the hard work every day to alleviate that suffering. Their voices are also mightily important. We are creating a space for these voices to gather and write their stories. This is the 1st of what will be a monthly gathering. Performances may ensue in the future.
Film: Crumbs – an Afrofuturist Tale
“Directed by Spaniard Llansó, who actually lives in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), “Crumbs” stars Daniel Tadesse, and tells a story of diminutive superhero Gagano (played by Tadesse), a junk collector, who embarks on a “surreal epic journey” that’s set against “post-apocalyptic Ethiopian landscapes,” says the press description. He’s had enough of collecting “valuable crumbs of a decayed civilization,” when a spaceship that has been hovering high in the sky for years, starts showing signs of activity, and Gagano has to overcome his fears – which includes a witch, Santa Claus and second-generation Nazis – to find out that the world isn’t quite what he thought it was.”
