From the cyanobacteria that first oxygenated Earth 2.4 billion years ago all the way up to the Sun itself, CYANO SUN SUITE is a poetic, musical and scientific ode to culture starters and the afro-ancestral dream of outer space. Written, performed and produced by TAWHIDA TANYA EVANSON, directed by STEFAN VERNA and edited by SHARIF MIRSHAK, this 45-minute film blends spoken word with improvised hipjazzsoulbopfunkhop by members of KALMUNITY VIBE COLLECTIVE and guest poet KAIE KELLOUGH. A black woman’s body. A blue planet. From the cellular to the sun. We honour.
