Joe Davis & The Poetic Diaspora Live

Paying homage to artists of the Harlem Renaissance, from Billie Holiday to Langston Hughes and all of the greats who sacrificed so much for us. Joe Davis and the Poetic Diaspora shows appreciation to the ones who have paved the way as we create a new avenue of virtue for the next generations of artists that come after us.

Joe Davis & The Poetic Diaspora - Ancestral Origins

The New Renaissance Presents: Ancestral Origins is an afrofuturist exploration of joy and beauty written, directed, and produced by interdisciplinary artist Joe Davis. Originally inspired as a ‘choreopoem', a word coined by late playwright Ntozoke Shange, it’s “a vibrant interplay between movement and language.”

Ancestral Origins is an immersive theater production like you've never experienced before. Following the smash success of Ancestral Echoes, poet and playwright Joe Davis invites us into an afrofuturistic adventure featuring over 20 local, interdisciplinary artists weaving together choreography, live band music, singing, and poetic storytelling.
