Calixto Neto / VOA
Like many artists who were too radical for their time, the Black, gay composer, singer, and performer Julius Eastman died in poverty and obscurity in New York in 1990. For choreographer Calixto Neto, his music was love at first note. His latest work is a dialogue of reconciliation with Eastman.

“Bruits Marrons” takes Eastman’s piece “Evil N*” as its starting point and transposes the concept of the Maroons—hidden settlements of escaped enslaved people dating back to the 16th century—into the present.
Accompanied by a piano, six performers create a community that explores resistance and solidarity through music, sound, and noise.
