Preview: Mixed Mamas at Links Hall
Mother's Day has come and gone; however, for many, when it comes to moms, as the saying goes, "Every day is Mother's Day."
Through spoken word, dance, and videos by poets and performance artists including Boogie McClarin, Patience Rowe, Maya Odim, Sandra 'La Pixie' Santiago, and Nikki Yeboah, Sage Morgan-Hubbard's "interactive, multi-media choreopoem" Mixed Mamas, highlights the peaks and valleys of the various aspects of motherhood, infusing "humor, beauty, movement and oral histories" along the way.
Morgan-Hubbard, a respected poet in her own right, will also perform an excerpt of her one-woman show, an autobiographical work that explores a range of societal differences and experiences via the ethnicities of the four women who comprise her own mixed heritage.
See Mixed Mamas May 25-27 at Links Hall, 3435 N. Sheffield; Friday and Saturday shows are 8pm and 7pm on Sunday. Tickets are $5-$10; for more information, call 773-281-0824.
