Bronx Gothic

From acclaimed director Andrew Rossi, known for works like PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY, comes a captivating exploration of writer and performer Okwui Okpokwasili and her celebrated solo performance, BRONX GOTHIC. Drawing from her childhood experiences, Okwui—who has collaborated with visionary artists such as Ralph Lemon and Julie Taymor—blends dance, music, theater, and humor to craft an enchanting environment where audiences can connect with the narrative of two 12-year-old black girls navigating adolescence in the 1980s. With exclusive vérité-style access to Okwui and her audiences beyond the stage, BRONX GOTHIC offers a unique glimpse into her artistic journey and the intricate social themes it addresses.
