The VORTEX and Brown Boy Productions present Rap Unzel, A Story of #BlackBoyJoy and a Journey of Hair and Self-Care, with outdoor October matinees on the Garden Stage at The VORTEX. By Jeremy Rashad Brown. Directed by Indiia Wilmott. Performances will be at 1pm and 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays only beginning October 9, 2021. To keep audiences and performers safe and comfortable, we have moved the show outside and folks will be seated at tables of 2, 4, or 6 with their families and loved ones. Limited single seats available. Reginald RAP Unzel III is a young man with big hair and bigger dreams of musical stardom... IF ONLY he can get out of his room. Rap Unzel features Hip Hop music and dance and celebrates identity, awareness, emotional intelligence, and empowerment. Rap Unzel disrupts traditional fairy tales, pushing back against hyper-masculine and stoic representations of Black men. The storys uplifting and whimsical themes have the tremendous potential to touch audiences of all ages, connecting Ancestors and Descendants through the Arts. We integrate art and message in order to affirm and honor students identities, presenting BIPOC artists as role models and creating anti-racist content. As agents of change, we create an experience for the parents, students, and teachers. The VORTEX and Brown Boy Productions new production of Rap Unzel as a nimble touring version that will travel to schools, around Austin, to other Texas cities, to other regions in the US, with the potential to reach the broader populations of the African Diaspora.
