Picture
Five Weeks Closer was created based on the question, "If all the oppressions on you were gone, how would you arrive?" In the days surrounding the 2017 presidential inauguration, when folks were bracing for what lay ahead, this ensemble took five weeks and stretched into a vision about what is possible. This was an immersive piece invited audiences of all ages to live into wholeness as they experience three visions of a world without oppression.

Created and Performed by Matthew Armstead, Mo Burroughs, Ociele Hawkins, and Rhetta Morgan
Directed by Matthew Armstead

It was performed in January 2017 to packed crowds at the Community Education Center in Philadelphia.
