MATA at Roulette

On Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 8:00PM, Brooklyn’s Roulette Intermedium presents Shara Lunon – poet, vocalist, composer and improviser – in the world premiere of her complete program Bitter Fruits, commissioned by MATA. The program is co-commissioned by Audiofemme, a curatorial collective that creates culture at the intersection of music, feminism, sex and politics. In Bitter Fruits – named for the hard-won gains reaped by marginalized people in the United States – Lunon explores survival techniques developed in response to oppression and injustice within our government, society, and communities. This electronic song cycle taps into her background as both an inheritor and innovator of Black American Musical traditions.
