Thematic Connections
In Intimate Apparel & The Wiz, we explore the profound connections between timeless narratives and the contemporary world. Our performances delve into the social and relevance of these iconic stories, illuminating their impact on today's society. By weaving together themes of identity, resilience, and love, we invite audiences to reflect on their own lives and experiences.
Comtemporary Relevance
Both Intimate Apparel and The Wiz speak on how intellect or the lack thereof has created a barrier stopping someone in the story from achieving greater heights, and in both scenarios this idea that you are not smart enough to move forward is depicted by someone close to them.
Social Relevance
Intimate Apparel and The Wiz touch on the social aspect of self-empowerment and community.
Political Relevance
Both pieces play with the idea of Systemic Oppression in some way. In both pieces they have a character play the oppressor. An example of that is Evillene in The Wiz
