Arts at the Attucks The ODU Literary Festival presents What We Ask of Flesh

October 10 2025

Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; Sunday 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Attucks Theatre 1010 Church St, Norfolk, VA 23510 Price: FREE WITH RSVP

Directed by Christal Brown
Poetry by Remica Bingham-Risher

What We Ask of Flesh (WWAOF) is a seven-year labor of true communion and collaboration. Conceptual Architect Christal Brown has brought together a brilliant cast of movement artists, composers, writers, and technologists to create an immersive evening-length dance and installation. The cast not only explores flesh as the veil between the world and the soul but they also connect INSPIRIT’s 20-year history through legacy and lineage.

In this work, the artists’ bodies become instruments that question, connect, and dismantle the tangible and intangible histories present within a human life. Inspired by Remica Bingham-Risher’s poetry and the caregiver’s journey through Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, the navigation of grief, and the redemption of joy, Brown and her company explore the tapestry between our internal and external realities. Set to live music, five movement artists assisted by media projection, lights, and garments of art take the audience on a journey of truth and triumph.

Arts at the Attucks is made possible by Norfolk Arts, the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts Polyphonic Culture Arts Equity Grant.
