IMPACT 2012 Festival: Goliath August 8, 2012

Told from seven different perspectives, Takeo Rivera’s Goliath tells one young soldier’s war story, from home to the front and back again. Using a poetic landscape inspired by Ntozake Shange, a Greek chorus and spoken word in the style of Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry,Goliath is a theatrical meditation on war and masculinity; a glimpse into what we do during times of war and of what it means to love when violence is part of the norm.

This performance of Goliath will feature opening poetry by Warrior Writers NYC and a post-show conversation on critical issues facing Veterans this upcoming election with NYC Veterans & veteran service organizations.
