In the lounge Sixteen Hamza Zaman with A Brave Artist Collective Production
About This Show
Zaman’s third foray into the criminal INjustice system following his play Fresh Meat which premiered at FringeNYC to a sold out house, and Redemption, a solo show at The ONE Festival. Sixteen is a multi genre show which examines the root causes of criminal activity at or near the inception point. Incorporating dance, spoken word poetry and multi media, it cracks open the narrative structure of traditional theatrical works into something new that evokes the timeless origins of drama.
