Telling the story.
NORTH is a story that explores Black American life during the antebellum period and which aims to bring out the full range of experiences of freedom seekers. While acknowledging the realities of slavery, the narrative and original musical compositions explore themes of optimism, bravery, playfulness, wonder, suspense and mystery.
Over a period of four years, Ashli St. Armant has developed this project alongside a team of prolific musicians, visionary artists, and awe-inspiring performers.
