Red Corner is a theatrical adaptation of the poetry book by Dawn Web. Through spoken word, musical compositions, visual art, and dance movement, Red Corner underpins the interconnectedness of key themes: identity, sexual health, neurodiversity, queer and political issues, sexism, racism, illness, suicide, perseverance, and navigating intergenerational trauma. The goal is not for audience members to merely relate to or understand the themes but, through sensory manipulation, to have a visceral and transformative experience of what it means to live varying perspectives.
"Dawn Web is a poet to read, keep reading, and watch out for—a lyrical and formal genius delivering line after line of crafted perfection.”
