13th & Republic is produced by the award-winning Cincinnati-based arts organization “Walterhoope” http://www.walterhoope.com/, currently in its fourth season and recently featured in Cincinnati magazine.
“13th & Republic” is a locally-produced “interactive operatic radical dance film,” innovatively produced through creative-collaboration-in-the-era-of-covid, featuring the original music of Kaleel Skeirik, the inspiring poetry of Tyrone Williams, gospel choir director/pianist Rev. Dan Larkin, director/choreographer Darnell Pierre Benjamin, and local dancers, singers, and film professionals. Skeirik’s original piece was motivated by the shooting of Timothy Thomas in 2001 at 13th & Republic in Cincinnati.
About 13th & Republic
Walterhoope presents 13th & Republic, an Interactive, Operatic, Radical Dance Film directed by Darnell Pierre Benjamin that addresses excessive police force against Black communities and the mental health of the country.
13th & Republic features an original score by composer Kaleel Skeirik that weaves together contemporary symphonic, jazz, renaissance, and Appalachian folk music with original poetry and lyrics by Tyrone Williams.
