The Cedar Presents
HYPERNOVA: Su Hwang and FPA
Thursday, May 6th, 2021 / Premiere at 7:30 pm CT
Next up on The Cedar Public Access Channel, we present the third and final installment of the HYPERNOVA series, initially live-streamed from The Cedar on Friday, April 30. This episode features performances from poet Su Hwang and multidisciplinary artist FPA, with hosting by 20% Theater Company’s artistic director Marcela Michelle. Time and time again, Black, brown, queer, indigenous people, trans people, disabled, nonbinary, asian, poor and chronically ill have stepped up to support the larger community and to fight against society's injustices - HYPERNOVA invites audience members on a liberatory journey into space to envision what’s possible for our collective futures.
