John Paul Zaccarini by Andrea Davis Kronlund Certain Blacks Heroes Festival
John Paul Zaccarini by Andrea Davis Kronlund Certain Blacks Heroes Festival

A stand-up, hip-hop, spoken word journey of passion, hope and humour taking audiences on a lush poetic journey through everyday racism, homophobia and classism.

Zaccarini explores the political and emotional minefield of Intersectionality with poignancy in this highly personal and provocative performance.

John-Paul Zaccarini, Ph.D. is a Professor in Performing Arts at Stockholm University of the Arts, an award-winning solo theatre artist and a poet. As if this isn’t enough, he is also, a ‘Dragademic’, working class, queer hip-hop, drama clown queen of colour.

Homo-funky and street spunky, serving up South London shade and immigrant working class realness, he blends the ‘brains with the b*tch’ and the spectacular with the serious. Music by Peter Coyte. £10/8 8pm
