Player emeritus, Rotimi Ababiaka, enlists Tranimation Studios' sound designer, Jason Hannan to create a soundscape for his latest solo show, Type/Caste. Running June, 10-11 at he African American Center for Arts and Culture as part of The 19th Annual Queer Arts Festival.
Based on Rotimi’s real life experience as a professional actor, Type/Caste is a fast paced and humorous journey into the peaks, pitfalls and hallucinations of a young artist's quest for success in a gentrified and commercialized industry as he attempts to create outsider art in a profession that favors insiders and in spite of the soul suck of capitalism. In this moment of #OscarsSoWhite, Type/Caste is a personal look at the politics of (mis-) representation on the American stage.
