Culture Project's Women Center Stage Proudly Presents E X P A T R I A T E by L E N E L L E M O Ï S E
A brand new two-woman play with music
about race, friendship, art and fame.
EXPATRIATE by LENELLE MOÏSE is a brand new two-woman play with music about race, friendship, art and fame. Claudie and Alphine are sophisticated and sexy African-American performing artists and longtime sister-friends. Disillusioned by grief, homophobia and ³the black glass ceiling,² they flee to Europe to heal, and realize their starved American dreams. In Paris, they support themselves singing and dancing on the street and quickly rise to infamy and fortune. But as Claudie and Alphine soon discover, for some Black artists living abroad, stardom comes at a steep price. EXPATRIATE is an engaging exploration of black womanhood, friendship, sexuality and freedom, celebrating characters in the spirit of Nina Simone, Josephine Baker and the Hottentot Venus.
Previews begin July 7. Opening Night July 16.
