NOTES
Title from title frames
An electrifying portrait of writer and performer Okwui Okpokwasili and her acclaimed one-woman show, "Bronx Gothic." Rooted in memories of her childhood, Okwui – who’s worked with conceptual artists like Ralph Lemon and Julie Taymor – fuses dance, song, drama, and comedy to create a mesmerizing space in which audiences can engage with a story about two 12-year-old black girls coming of age in the 1980s. With intimate vérité access to Okwui and her audiences off the stage, BRONX GOTHIC allows for unparalleled insight into her creative process as well as the complex social issues embodied in it. Official Selection at the **Full Frame Documentary Festival**. *"“A mesmerizing and sometimes harrowing solo piece… Okpokwasili in motion is a sight to behold."* - Tim Murphy, ***The New York Times***
