About this Event

'But it was the raw cry from the soul new work, ‘The Just and the Blind,’ that has stayed with me from my marathon... The work is driven by Mr. Joseph’s stinging, brilliant words and is structured as a series of vignettes. Mr. Joseph voices the thoughts of a black father who admits to being afraid when, at night, he walks past young black men who look the same age as his son. Every day, he tells his son, the boy’s main mission in life is ‘to come home to me.’

Anthony Tommasini The New York Times


The Wright Performances is a multidisciplinary series of performance works created

by critically acclaimed American artists. As a companion to The Wright’s Exhibitions and

Public Programs, the series completes the holistic exploration of the profound impact of African American artists and historians on cultures throughout the world.
