Reading of a New Work: “…DA BRONX IS BURN’N!” by Dayshawnda Ash
“…DA BRONX IS BURN’N!”&nbsp;is a visceral, movement-driven play set in the South Bronx during the late 1970s, when fires tore through neighborhoods and entire communities were left to fend for themselves. At its center is&nbsp;Jamie, a Black teenage girl coming of age inside a world shaped by abandonment, domestic violence, and generational silence. As the city burns around her—both literally and metaphorically—Jamie discovers dance as a language of survival, resistance, and self-definition.
Blending dialogue, music, and breakdance-inspired movement, the play confronts sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, and systemic neglect without spectacle or apology. Fire becomes both threat and metaphor: something that destroys, but also exposes what refuses to disappear. Through Jamie’s relationship with her mother, her chosen family, and the streets that raised her,&nbsp;“&nbsp;…DA BRONX IS BURN’N!”&nbsp;asks what it means to survive the aftermath—when the flames are gone, but the ash still clings to the body. This is a story about memory, movement, and the people who live on after the city lets them burn.
7:00 pm - Monday 4/27
