Can You Hear God Crying?
Presented by Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
At the core of Can You Hear God Crying? is the Door of No Return, through which millions of enslaved Africans came to the United States. Through the fusion of West African prayers, songs and rhythms expressed through gospel, jazz, soaring choral and chamber music, a soprano deity sings strength to her people: in slave ships, in jails—and trapped in the prisons of fear into which mankind locks itself. At one point in Can You Hear God Crying?, the soprano deity and choir recreate the Middle Passage simulating the cries of kidnapped Africans as they endure the horrid journey into slavery. For anyone who has ever closed the door to wholeness, Lokumbe's music will open the heart.
