Never Twenty One pays tribute to the young Black men who have been victims of gun violence in New York, Rio de Janeiro and Johannesburg, who will never reach the age of 21. Three powerful dancers, torsos inscribed with testimonials from the victims’ families, recount the stories through movement. #Never21
Made possible with the support of the Villa Albertine – Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States
The Massachusetts International Festival of the Arts (MIFA) Victory Theatre has been presenting the finest examples of contemporary practice in the preforming, visual and literary arts for the purpose of educating, entertaining and enriching lives. MIFA has presented great art with artists like Mikhail Baryshnikov, Vanessa Redgrave, Hal Holbrook, and Eddie Palmieri along with wonderful Massachusetts artists and institutions. In 2009 MIFA acquired the historical landmark Victory Theatre in downtown Holyoke, Massachusetts. MIFA is restoring the iconic 1,600 seat Broadway style theater and will return it to its role as a major live theater for the City of Holyoke and its surrounding communities.
