Tsiambwom M. Akuchu - Market Demographics

Market Demographics is an electrifying fusion of street dance—B-boying, Krump, House, Hip-Hop, and more—with physical theatre to confront the constructs of race, masculinity, and identity. Through raw, visceral movement and bold narrative, the work explores how Black and Brown male identities have been shaped by the legacy of slavery and the forces of a patriarchal, consumer-driven society.

It asks: What does it mean to be a man, a person of color, and someone who identifies as male in today’s world?
