Davóne Tines and The Truth’s new work ROBESON explodes the musical repertoire of Paul Robeson alongside pianist John Bitoy and sound artist Khari Lucas.
Devised with director Zack Winokur, it premiered to huge acclaim last year in New York. Tynes reimagines Robeson’s signature anthems of protest, resilience, and reassurance. He both confronts the singer’s point zero and holds up a shattered mirror to the American dream, taking listeners on a trip from the stage of Carnegie Hall to the floor of a Moscow hotel room in an attempt to understand an icon through his vulnerability.
