December 7 – 8

“A Chocolate City Nutcracker” is Black Leaves Dance Company’s retelling of The Nutcracker story as we follow a young, gay man at his HBCU’s holiday party, who is searching for his Prince, and travels to the Land of Dreams, where we explore a variety of African diasporic dance genres. This work is a love letter to pan-Africanism, the queer community, and family.
