MOUTH - The Fundraiser! - We Three Kings

WE THREE KINGS



We Three Kings is a multi-media performance installation in development.

It is inspired by the stories of local artist Joey Bonhage and documented interviews with people rebuilding their homes, businesses and lives in southern Louisiana post-Katrina. It is an examination of New Orleans at this moment in history by visual artists, filmmakers, documentarians, writers and performers that integrates the voices of real people in the community within a narrative folktale about the Mississippi River and its relationship to the people living along it throughout history.

MOUTH is a Fundraiser to support the continuing development of the We Three Kings performance.

The piece has received multiple workshops in New Orleans since Dec 2007 and at the Fusebox Festival in Austin Texas in April of 08.

AS A SIDENOTE: The creators of We Three Kings have been an invaluable part of getting NoLA Rising to New York where we held a festival showcasing New Orleans themed performance by New Orleans artists and actors. We were able to raise $1,000 for New Orleans Young Audiences. Without their help, we couldn't have brought a piece of the Big Easy to the Big Apple. NoLA Rising will always move forward with projects that showcase the New Orleans artistic spirit and we proudly support We Three Kings in their endeavors!

From The Big Easy to The Big Apple - Announcing November 22nd show

NoLA Rising Gears Up for Show in New York!



It's time for the official announcement to be made. Our brothers and sisters in the West Village have made it possible for NoLA Rising to have a show...a venue...a triumphant circus up in the much loved New York City. And we're not coming up there to play tourist either!

We're going to be getting the job done. NoLA Rising will be heading up north Y'ALL to spread the word that New Orleans is alive and well and that our art scene is in the middle of a Renaissance. Renaissance? That's right, that's what I call it after watching my city drown is sewerage and filth following the Federal Levee Failures. There is no other direction for New Orleans but to RISE from the swamps and show the civilized world what we've been doing with art down here.

In the following days, as the details get scheduled out, those of us here at NoLA Rising world headquarters will be releasing the line up of friends and compatriots in the revolution for a better tomorrow. Shenanigans, artwork, music, interpretive philosophy, activism and sheer fun. There'll be something for everyone when NoLA hits the streets of New York, bringing THE BIG EASY to THE BIG APPLE, this coming November.

You'll be able to find us on Nov 22nd and at our paint parties leading up to then at:

sept 13th FORT GREEN PARK fort green 1-6pm
sept 20 McCAREN PARK williamsburg 1- 6pm
sept 27 HARLEM 1-6pm
Oct 25th TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK 2-7pm
Nov 1 WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK 1-6pm

Be a part of the community that is changing the way people perceive art and activism!

Our Brothers and Sisters from New York at NoLA Shines and Slightly Askew made the following video!


And then there's WE THREE KINGS
