5P1N0K10
SPINOKIO: A Hip Hopera
Two shows! Wednesday, March 30, 10:30 & 11:30 AM.
Spinokio Hip Hop Opera about a robot-boy who wants to become human. In the distant future, when robots are used for war, engineer Jeghetto built 5P1N0K10 — an android who fights for humanity through b-boying and hip hop. This Afro-Futuristic take on Carlo Collodi’s Classic ‘Pinocchio’ includes hand-crafted puppets by Tarish "Jeghetto" Pipkins, projections and a live score written by Pierce Freelon.

Note to parents: 5P1N0K10 contains mild fantasy violence (think Star Wars/Pokémon).

Elsewhere's previous artists in residence include George Jenne, Hong-An Truong and Stacy Lynn Waddell, whose work is part of our major upcoming show, Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art — the first contemporary art exhibition to question and explore in-depth the complex and contested space of the American South.
