Be Holding

"Into this season that finds so many Black families grieving comes the production of Ross Gay’s book-length poem, 'Be Holding,' like shimmering hope. Staged in the huge gymnasium/armory at Girard College this world premiere and operatic performance invites the audience to find joy in their lives by caring for each other in the midst of tragedy. 'Be Holding' gives Philadelphians a rare opportunity for collective healing."—The Philadelphia Sunday Sun

"'Be Holding' is a stream-of-consciousness meditation on Black genius, diligence and practice, and gratitude."—WHYY

"A collaborative nod to Black genius on the court, and in the culture"—WRTI
