The Farewell
Created by 2X Grammy winner - Tamika Lawrence
A live cinematic music experience that merges concert, film, and performance art into an abstract, surreal psycho-thriller. ​​
Featuring an original mixtape performed with a live band, the piece draws on elements of Afrofuturism and camp to balance beauty, absurdity, and unease. Drawing inspiration from the cinematic worlds of John Waters, Wes Anderson, and Spike Lee, the show confronts the artist’s existential horror by blurring the line between cinema and performance in a world that is intimate, unsettling, and darkly playful.
