Marks of RED is an Afrofuturistic meditation on the “womb space,” divining the effect that memory has on our experiences, senses, bodies, reality, and our imaginative possibilities. The multidisciplinary work includes scenic designs by Mimi Lien, video mapping projection by Lucca Del Carlo, lighting design by Sarai Frazier, and production by TRIBE arts collective. The fourth chapter in the RED Series by Pitts, Marks of RED explores the nuanced multiplicity and deep complexity of self-expression, and the perceived spaces for regeneration, enfoldment, implosion, rupture & potential. _ ARTISTIC TEAM Founding Artistic Director, Concept Direction & Choreographer: Shamel Pitts Performers: Ashley Pierre-Louis, Marcella Lewis, Imani Gaudin, Dominica Greene, Ke’ron J.
