Details

Paul Robeson: Man of the People is a new creative production that chronicles the life and legacy of one of the twentieth century’s most important and iconic figures, premiering right here at The Cabaret. Created by Lasana Kazembe and renowned musician Ernest Dawkins, the production features an ensemble cast of jazz & classical musicians, vocalists, spoken word artists, visual artists, stage actors, and narrators – all working together to introduce contemporary audiences to the art, activism, and uncompromising truthspeak of Mr. Robeson. The evening will be a celebration of Robeson’s musicianship, stagecraft, intellectual spirit, writings, political speeches, and indefatigable global activism.
