Below, the Love: An experiential poetic odyssey

Enjoy this interdisciplinary performance as part of the Newark Arts Festival! Below, the Love is an experiential poetic odyssey that explores how love survives within the Black body. Written, directed, and performed by spoken word artists Vee & Dee, Below, the Love blends original poetry, sound, and visual media to examine what lies beneath love and all that we endure in pursuit of love as a practice. One impacted by culture, media, history, trauma, and ultimately—hope. Two voices stand on stage together, not to debate love but to bear witness to it, in awe, frustration and wonder through this intimate collaborative reflection. Everything is below, the love.
