Late in 2016, we got together under the watchful direction of Aaron Rossini for a workshop reading of an exciting new play by Kareem Fahmy called A Face in the Clouds. Kareem is also a tremendous director in his own right and, beginning in May, he has an extremely interesting, interactive project going up at 3LD Art & Technology Center.

A Little About The Show
3/FIFTHS is a radically interactive Carnival and Cabaret, which takes place in a sprawling 10,000-sq-ft dystopian interactive ethno-theme park known as SupremacyLand. A comprehensive and theatrical exploration of America’s fascination with the virtual weaponization of black skin. 3/FIFTHS creates a truly immersive environment using large scale video, performance, and music to trace the brutality from America’s original sin (Slavery), to the latest unarmed black man killed due to a heavily armed policeman fearing for their lives. Mass incarceration, racist carnage, and political incorrectness have never been more entertaining!
