←Recommendations of Red Rainbow

Y'ALL! Red Rainbow is an amazing work that incorporates all of the best of Azure's brilliant skills: magic, storytelling, ancestral knowledge, queerness, color, and mystery. I cannot wait to be able to see a full production of this beautiful story.

Red Rainbow is at once an adventure comedy that centers black and brown queerness and a beautiful exploration of grief and ritual. PLUS IT HAS A DANCE PARTY!!

What a wonderful, magical ensemble piece. The central relationship between Nathaniel and Ixchel is a breath of fresh air--to see young queer friends rendered onstage and going on a journey that is informed by the complexity of their identities while treating them with a gentleness and lightness is refreshing. This would be a field day for creative directors, movement directors, and designers of all sorts. I'd be eager to see this realized live!

What a wonderful and wild introduction to Azure's work for me. Ixchel and Nathanial's trip through a queer and multicultural rabbit-hole-fantasia swept me along in the first scene and carried me through to the end. These two friends are what anyone could hope for - a friendship built on the many foundations of love. As the surreal and hallucinatory chaos blended into the truth of Ixchel's quest to honor her Abuela, I found myself overcome with the desire to experience this play in a completely immersive environment, right alongside our two fabulous protagonists. (Especially Nathanial's big number)
