Roger Guenveur Smith
In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat: Personal Tribute to a Revolutionary Artist
Part of Hancher's Infinite Dream festival
Part of Hancher's 53rd season
This is one of two stirring shows by an internationally acclaimed actor, writer, and director.
Roger Guenveur Smith calls forth two essential figures of the American narrative. This performance is inspired by Smith’s friendship with the young artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose meteoric rise was halted by his tragic death at the age of 27.
“a blend of poetic vision and searing reality … a beautiful piece of stagecraft that transmits a hero’s journey to our eyes, our ears, and our hearts.” – TalkinBroadway.com
