Cry You One
Cry You One is an interdisciplinary project of the New Orleans-based companies ArtSpot Productions and Mondo Bizarro that uses the stories, music, dances and traditions of Southeast Louisiana to respond to our region’s interconnected struggles against coastal land loss, cultural loss, environmental racism and displacement. It is a site-responsive performance and an online storytelling experience/platform that gives physical, oral and musical shape to the themes of our home: converging cultures, creativity in all its forms, human error, forced evacuation, living with water and the desire for permanence.
