Get ready to fall under the spell of Will Power, renowned master of hip-hop theatre, as he turns out a neighborhood to the "beedee-ka-ka" sound, of the truly amazing DJ Reborn. Yeah, the whole neighborhood. He becomes it. He is it.
One guy morphing into street chroniclers like Swea P., Preacha Man, New Groun, who in turn, tell the urban tales of Fred the Roach, Blind Betty, and Cheesy. Raw and real. A look at the tough, laughable, sweetness of life, then passing it on, 'cause: "...these tales ain't just for stayin' alive, inside are the secrets on how to thrive..." Globally-acclaimed rapper/actor Will Power is not only the voice of hip-hop theatre, he helped pioneer it. Fusing smart, compelling spoken-word with original hip-hop beats and fluid movement. "They came to tell stories... flowin'... getting' strong... carryin' on."
" Flow is certainly kindred with the sound and culture that dominates our airwaves... It is an engaging, hip stage work." –Minneapolis Star Tribune [ Get review ] "...a highly kinetic performance. Flow is unlike just about anything you've seen before at a big, institutional theater." –St. Paul Pioneer Press [ Get review] "[ Flow] is a powerhouse, full of wit, honesty, and a loose-limbed tenacity... it's as distinctive as any stage production in recent memory." –City Pages [ Get review] Flow "combined the complexity of serious drama with the visual and sonic arsenal of MTV... one of the Top 10 NYC 2003 Theatre Performances!" –New York Times
