MILWAUKEE CHAMBER THEATRE

— By Eliana Pipes with original music by B~Free from the HOOPS Project by Nicole Acosta — 

Local art begets local art as multi-disciplinary Milwaukee artist Nicole Acosta’s internationally acclaimed HOOPS Project comes to the stage.

Hoop earrings express complex, layered, and beautiful individual and community identities across cultures and generations. Through in-depth interviews crafted into an evening of monologues in the tradition of theater documentarians like Anna Deavere Smith, Eve Ensler, and KJ Sanchez, HOOPS centers stories of visibility and individuality, community and collectivism, and survival and transcendence in a space to celebrate culture as it explores the potent resonance of these symbols to those who identify most strongly with them.
