Underground Transmissions - RPG 2026 Season at BAAD!

“Underground Transmissions” brings together two Afrofuturist multimedia choreographic works by Renegade Performance Group Artistic Director André M. Zachery—Webbed Fugues and Respiration (BX)—to explore how Black communities carry, transform, and reimagine knowledge across generations. Drawing from Black Atlantic cultural practices, Hip Hop, speculative fiction, and contemporary performance, the season examines lineage as a living process of adaptation, improvisation, and connection. Presented September 25–26 at Bronx Academy of Arts & Dance (BAAD!), in the birthplace of Hip Hop, these works celebrate the Bronx as a site of cultural invention where collective memory, embodied storytelling, and creative innovation generate new possibilities for the future.
