"Cannabis! A Viper Vaudeville" with Baba Israel and Grace Galu

Cannabis! A Viper Vaudeville is a theatrical
concert exploring the history of cannabis using music, dance and
spoken word. The team includes Baba Israel as writer, performer,
and co-director, Grace Galu as composer/performer; and
dramaturg/co-director Talvin Wilks in collaboration with Soul
Inscribed and an ensemble of dancers.


Inspired by Martin A. Lee’s book Smoke Signals: A Social
History of Marijuana - Medical, Recreational, and Scientific,
this theatrical concert weaves the histories of icons such as
Louis Armstrong and Bob Marley and grassroots activists such
as Dennis Perron and Brownie Mary with personal narrative.
Join us for a time-traveling tale of jubilation, injustice, and
transformation.
