Threat to Democracy!

Special Project: “Threat to Democracy”

‘Threat to Democracy’, is a multi-disciplinary project with spoken word artists and choreographers. This is a co-production of Creative Performances & Dixon Place Theater, a non-profit theater in the lower east side, NYC.

This multidisciplinary performance will unite spoken word artists and dance choreographers to confront the urgent challenges facing democracy in the United States, today. Through raw, evocative movement and powerful spoken narratives, this showcase will examine issues like voter rights, misinformation, disinformation, systemic inequalities, and the fragility of democratic ideals. In a time when civil liberties and collective voices are increasingly under threat, ‘Threat to Democracy’ will serve as both a call to action and a reflection of resilience, sparking dialogue and inspiring hope for a more equitable and inclusive future.

Producer Sangeeta Yesley will curate an hour long show with 10 dance works.

Date: SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 2025
Time: 4 p.m. & 7 p.m.
Duration of the show: Approx. 60 min
Venue: Dixon Place Theater, 161A Chrystie Street, btwn Delancey & Rivington, NY 10002.
