The cinematic re-imagining of Akeim Toussaint Buck’s one-man dance theatre piece, Windows of Displacement.

This energetic dance-cinema adaptation translates the acclaimed stage piece into a new medium. Featuring kinetic dance and a myriad of location switches, Displaced pushes the boundaries of dance storytelling. This memorable piece uses explosive dance and deep poetic text to tell an untold story from a place of humanity and love, transcending despair and turmoil. A journey of reflection, calling for global change.

Created and co-directed by Ashley Karrell, Displaced explores contemporary challenges such as culture, place, race and imperialism. ‘Beautiful and powerful’ (LouReviews.blog).
