Ghetto Alchemy: A Lunchroom Survival Guide is an afrofuturist coming-of-age story that transports us from the outer reaches of space to the rhythmic tables of a middle school lunchroom. This hip-hop solo show uses rap, poetry and movement as liberation tools to help our main character travel back in time to gain the assistance of their middle school self to overcome current-day blockades. Throughout this story, we evaluate and stitch together themes of puberty, socioeconomic status and queer awakening. This show is a Sankofa offering. It’s never too late to go back and get it. It’s never too late to give 11-year-old you a hug.
