Youth Speaks, along with spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph, young poets Eli Marienthal, Biko Eisen-Martin, and Chinaka Hodge, and composer John Santos are collaborating to create Scourge, a hip hop theater piece critically examining the history of Haiti. The artists are using “a fusion of dance, spoken word, and live music to re-visit the very narrow space between history, myth, and speculation.”
