A.I.M by Kyle Abraham: Cassette Vol. 1 tickets

Nostalgia isn’t just a feeling, it’s a rhythm, a groove, a dance that lives in the body. Weaving together the pop, R&B, and New Wave sounds of his youth, Kyle Abraham crafts a work that moves between camp and critique, honoring the influences that shaped him, from M/A/R/R/S to Prince, from Trisha Brown to Bill T. Jones. Ballet technique meets release-based articulation in a hybrid movement language that speaks to the non-monolithic Black experience and the cultural collisions of the 1980s and 1990s. Equal parts joy and reflection, Cassette Vol. 1 invites us to laugh at the extremes, mourn what’s lost, and move with the music that made us.
