Description

Things You Can't See (Excerpt)

Written & performed by Arthur "L.A." Buckner

Directed by James Gavins

Things You Can’t See follows Minneapolis-based drummer L.A. Buckner as he navigates the unseen truths of life as a Black musician performing in predominantly white wedding reception spaces. Blending personal stories, sharp humor, and dynamic live performance, the piece unpacks the layers of cultural expectation, artistic resilience, and identity within the world of professional music. Through rhythm, laughter and reflections on music history.

Cicada

Written & performed by James D. Gavins

Co-Directed by Karl Michael Iglesias & James D. Gavins

Cicada is an Afrofuturistic Multimedia Theatrical performance adapted from the stage play created by James D. Gavins & Karl Michael Iglesias. Through storytelling, music, movement, and comedy, we follow James in a parallel universe as he goes through the process to receive his reparations. He has been chosen to beta test CICADA, a psychotherapy simulator, that claims to ease the trauma from black history in America.
