About the Show
By Aziza Barnes
SOUTHEASTERN PREMIERE
When shit goes down, your girls show up. As sharply funny as it is poignant, BLKS introduces us to Octavia, Imani, and June – three twenty somethings in New York City hunting for intimacy and purpose in a city that doesn’t seem to care. They drink a lot. They smoke a lot. They try to have sex. A lot.
When they need each other the most, the women rally to “resurrect their fly” in a day full of humorous and painful attempts to be heard through the noise that surrounds them. This 24-hour blitz explores what it is to be a queer black woman in New York, how we survive and save ourselves from ourselves.
