In celebration of HARLEM WEEK, renowned opera singer Davóne Tines leads a special audio excerpt fusing vaudeville, gospel, opera, jazz, and spirituals. The Black Clown animates one man’s resilience against America’s legacy of oppression and brings Langston Hughes’s famed 1931 poem to life in a stunning music-theater piece created by Davóne Tines, Michael Schachter, and Zack Winokur.
