ABOUT GHETTO HORS D’OEUVRES: COLORS:
“Ghetto Hors D’oeuvres: COLORS is the next in this series of poetic theatrical performances by Brooklyn Gypsies. The Colors of El Barrio, The vibrant graffiti of its streets, 5 points and its displacement. What do Colors represent to your New York City story? The oxidized bridges, its green polluted waters and let’s not forget la vecina next door with a head full of colorful rolos. From popping neon warehouse parties, factories, lofts, condos to the elevated trailers that are the fading orange brick projects next door, these are the changes of Brooklyn & the transformation of the city.
Served with free Hors D’oeuvres, the audience bears witness as an eclectic group of Brooklyn artists, both native and immigrant, decipher the block and break down the rock that is the foundation and cornerstone of Brooklyn. Performances are followed by a live DJ set, conversation and dancing.”Ghetto Hors D’oeuvres: COLORS features Emcees, Poets, Artists, and Musicians
