From the streets of 90s New York to the world, this rarely performed hip hop gem is sure to ignite, provoke, and get heads spinning for real. Originally written and presented by the legendary ensemble Universes, Slanguage is an unprecedented and complete deep dive into the explosive essence of character and language. Get on the train, and prepare to let the words, beats, and dance take you anywhere. Now “stand clear of closing doors,” and let’s go.
