If I Awaken in Los Angeles

SAVE THE DATE

If I Awaken in Los Angeles is a multi-media production blending Spoken Word, music, dance, and video to tell the story of Los Angeles. Spanning the history of its Indigenous stewards, to modern day city living, the audience will travel through several neighborhoods of Los Angeles (South Central, The Canyons, Boyle Heights, Chinatown, Koreatown, and more), ultimately transformed by the spirit of the communities they’ve encountered.

Amidst the devastating fires that have shaken our city, If I Awaken In Los Angeles is a love letter to the City of Angels.
