There's no hesitation in saying that most of the city of New Orleans is fueled by Bounce music. No matter how much some of us try to run from it, it always seems to catch up with us. Catch the Wall, is a New Orleans story about Bounce music written by a young New Orleans writer.
Here's the storyline:
When champion bounce MC, Benefit, dies unexpectedly, 6th graders Cleo and Justice set out to make a dance video so that their mentor's memory can live on. But when Benefit's ghost begins haunting the halls of their charter school, the girls must push back against their teacher's expectations and the dangers of their neighborhood, and find a story they can claim as their own. ‘Catch the Wall’, by the same writer that brought The NOLA Project 'Taste' is a multi-media bounce play, fueled by the music and culture of New Orleans.
8 shows were performed March 14 - 23 at Dillard University's Cook Theatre. Check out the pics below:
