ANGELAS MIXTAPE

About the show

What’s it like to grow up in the shadow of a shero? Signature resident artist Eisa Davis pens a love letter to her radical upbringing in a family of proud activists, including her mother and her legendary aunt, Angela Y. Davis. Set on the dividing line between Oakland and Berkeley, California and moving to the rhythm of her childhood’s hip-hop, soul, pop and classical soundtrack, this memory- and time-shifting piece is a revealing portrait of a young artist in search of her own beat.
