Description
A social justice dance performance set to the music of Marvin Gaye. Join us for this bold, beautiful, and heart-warming Boston premiere. The Boston Globe named it one of the "top picks" for the April 27/28 weekend!
Event Details
With the transcendent music of Marvin Gaye as his lens, Vincent E. Thomas finds a reflection of our past in our world today. Taking inspiration from the inimitable protest song “What’s Going On” - with lyrics that are as profound today as they were in 1971 - Marvin Gaye’s insights into life, love and social justice are given fresh perspective. Featuring many of Gaye’s classic hits, the choreography ranges from contemporary to West African, and it pays homage to American social dances and gospel traditions.
What’s Going On? has received rave reviews throughout the country, performing to sold out audiences at extended runs. Offering “the sweetest solace possible: people coming together,” (The Washington Post) this is a thought-provoking performance, designed to spark conversation, and ignite hope in each community it touches.
