WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FLY AGAIN?

BOUNCE melds genres and defies stereotypes, synthesizing the full palette of American music from Rap and Hip-Hop to Jazz, EDM, and Gospel, with the percussive beat of basketballs and operatic high notes. BOUNCE tackles the School-to-prison pipeline, Equity in education, and what it takes to come back from the tragedy and trauma of gun violence.

Performed on a basketball court, BOUNCE is a reimagining of what is possible, an opera for today’s world.
