Join six Black singles aboard the S.S. Chiaroscuro for a chocolate singles cruise to…. nowhere! Guided by the wise and mischievous Paul Paul Legba, this “love boat” ultimately explodes into a dark comedy. Aboard, everyone wrestles with their own pursuit of love, desire, and need to be seen. Written by Black Arts Movement writer Aishah Rahman, the play is named after an Italian artistic term referring to a stark contrast between dark and light. A play crafted in a world struggling to battle isolation, we invite you to join us on the journey to finding love.
