Carl Hancock Rux, incendiary poet, dramatist and musician explodes the disciplines of theatre, poetry, music and dance with an artistic vision as brave and wildly powerful as his voice. Rux conceived this piece in response to the Whitney Museum’s controversial 1994 Black Male exhibition. No Black Male Show investigates social stereotypes and racist sociological studies through Rux’s revolutionary mix of fearless text, incredible music and ferocious performance.
