TRAPLORD HAVE MERCY explores questions of identity, faith, abandonment and Black masculinity. Using dance, movement and spoken word, director and choreographer Ivan Michael Blackstock navigates a world in which socially disenfranchised young men grapple with some of the biggest philosophical questions of our time in their own way and on their own terms. Sensitive and powerful, TRAPLORD HAVE MERCY is a poetic reflection on Black masculinity in crisis.
