Black Light
Written by Daniel Alexander Jones
Long-time Penumbra company member Daniel Alexander Jones returns to the Twin Cities with Black Light, the newest iteration of performance featuring the original and elegant Jomama Jones. Moving and grooving between song and monologue, the diva and soulful songstress explores love and life with extraordinary style and strength. Featuring original songs from Jones’ forthcoming album “Flowering,” created with Bobby Halvorson, this alternative-drag spectrum concert also features celebrated pianist Samora Pinderhughes and vocals from Laura Jean Anderson and Kelly Erin Sloan. Imparting potent wisdom in spoken interludes, Jomama Jones’ joyous reflections expand our capacity for love.
