Where Did We Sit on the Bus?
During a third grade history lesson on Rosa Parks, a Latina child raises her hand to ask, “Where did we sit on the bus?” What follows is a theatrical mixtape of Bee’s life. It’s a one-person show that immerses the audience in elaborate, layered soundscapes by fusing Latin rhythms, hip-hop, and spoken word poetry. And it’s all made, in-person, in real time, through the magic of live music and storytelling.
A high-octane, tour-de-force theatrical experience, examining what it means to be Latiné in America, capturing both the innocence of youth and the pressures that come with being the child of immigrants, Where Did We Sit on the Bus? builds from the ground up, one step at a time, taking audiences on a soulful musical journey as its hero finds hope and meaning through art.
