Kevin Beasley will perform in the New York premiere of Tell it anyway as part of Ralph Lemon’s solo exhibition Ceremonies Out of the Air. Lemon and his collaborators weave abstract movement and song lyrics into an explosive examination of memory, race, and impermanence. With music composed by Beasley, Tell it anyway was commissioned by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
The Ceremonies Out of the Air performance program includes several New York City and world premieres of Lemon’s newest works, which anchor the exhibition’s explorations of generosity, mortality, devotion, Blackness, and joy.

Performers: Kevin Beasley, Dwayne Brown, Paul Hamilton, Darrell Jones, Ralph Lemon, Lysis (Ley), April Matthis, Mariama Noguera-Devers, Okwui Okpokwasili, Angie Pittman, Samita Sinha, Timothy Angulo
