THIS FRIDAY and SATURDAY PEAK Series - Rinker Playhouse at Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts Pavement, a dance event created by Kyle Abraham, pays homage to the bold, backward-jeans and high-top-fade era of ’90s hip-hop, while examining a culture plagued by discrimination, genocide, and the constant quest for a way out. Inspired by John Singleton’s groundbreaking fi lm Boyz N The Hood (1991) and essays of W.E.B. DuBois’ The Souls of Black Folk (1903), Pavement uses movement to depict scenes of violence, love, male bonding, arrests, and physical and emotional pain. The piece is set to an amazing soundtrack that mixes Philippe Jaroussky’s operatic score, Carestini: The Story of a Castrato, with the sounds of the city.
