Crawfish: We the Invisible

Crawfish: We the Invisible is the story of Cristofer "Crawfish" Cruz, who reluctantly migrated to the Bay Area after Hurricane Katrina with his mother Aretha. Now, finding himself homeless after fighting the long and expensive battle of Aretha's dementia, Cristofer tells his story, assisted by the ghostly presence of Aretha, in a mix of narrative prose, spoken-word poetry and song. Cristofer, once a home owner and member of the working class, brings a voice and face to the experience of homelessness and housing crisis in this country, particularly in the Bay Area, where the crisis is acute.

Featuring Gamal Abdel Chasten (Co-Founder of Universes Theatre Company - Party People, Ameriville, Slanguage), Awele Makeba (acclaimed storyteller, Kennedy Center for the Arts, Broadway World San Francisco Region Award for Best Performance) and Bay Area drummer Jim Bove.
