The Wooster Group/Eric Berryman: GET YOUR ASS IN THE WATER AND SWIM LIKE ME - Part of Under the Radar Festival® / utrfest.org
In this landmark collaboration, Eric Berryman performs an album of toasts: bawdy poetry from the Black-American oral tradition that tells witty, fantastical stories about legendary street heroes. Featuring Berryman and drummer Jharis Yokley. Directed by Kate Valk with production design by Elizabeth LeCompte and sound design by Eric Sluyter. Based on a 1976 LP recorded by folklorist Bruce Jackson.
