Historia
Okwui Okpokwasili (born August 6, 1972) is an Igbo-Nigerian American artist, performer, choreographer, and writer. Her multidisciplinary performances draw upon her training in theatre, and she describes her work as at "the intersection of theatre, dance, and the installation." Several of her works relate to historical events in Nigeria. She is especially interested in subjects of cultural and historical memory and how the Western imagination perceives of African bodies.

Herself
From director Andrew Rossi (PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY) comes an electrifying portrait of writer and performer Okwui Okpokwasili and her acclaimed one-woman show, BRONX GOTHIC. Rooted in memories of her childhood, Okwui – who’s worked with conceptual artists like Ralph Lemon and Julie Taymor – fuses dance, song, drama, and comedy to create a mesmerizing space in which audiences can engage with a story about two 12-year-old black girls coming of age in the 1980s. With intimate vérité access to Okwui and her audiences off the stage, BRONX GOTHIC allows for unparalleled insight into her creative process as well as the complex social issues embodied in it.

Año 2012. Robert Neville es el último hombre vivo que hay sobre la Tierra, pero no está solo. Los demás seres humanos se han convertido en unos mutantes nocturnos llamados "Darkseekers" y todos ansían beber su sangre. Durante el día vive en estado de alerta, como un cazador, y busca a los muertos vivientes mientras duermen; pero durante la noche debe esconderse de ellos y esperar el amanecer. Esta pesadilla empezó hace tres años: Neville era un brillante científico, pero no pudo impedir la expansión de un terrible virus creado por el hombre. Él ha sobrevivido porque es inmune al virus; todos los días envía mensajes por radio con la esperanza de que haya otros supervivientes, pero es inútil. Lo único que puede hacer es buscar una fórmula que le permita utilizar su sangre inmune para devolverles a los hombres su naturaleza. Pero está en inferioridad de condiciones y el tiempo se acaba.
