mama [rose.], an afro-futurist queer, circular time-traveling choreopoem, follows three familial relationships and their journeys toward healing intergenerational wounds.

through VHS archives of past-present-future times, an eighty-nine-year old trans archaeologist and oracle, Mama Rose, transmits indigenous wisdom and ways of knowing to her grandchild, a sixteen-year-old non-binary teen named Sid, as Sid navigates their own becoming and transforming relationship to their mother, Delores.

mama [rose.] pays homage to Ntozake Shange in spirit of the choreopoem and black feminist ways of knowing.
