LATE: a Love Story
Performed by Rachelle Zola along the route of her 754-mile Pilgrimage from Chicago to Montgomery, “LATE: A Love Story” is not just a performance – it’s a raw and honest exploration of truths discovered too late, weaving together narratives of love, loss and healing.
Rachelle’s powerful performance will leave you captivated, while her journey towards understanding and reconciliation will prompt you to reconsider the world around you. In this performance, Rachelle vulnerably shares her own story, which transitions seamlessly into ten friends sharing their stories steeped in the devastating legacy of the past. Through listening, she continues to take in the profound injustices faced by Black Americans. Each step of her pilgrimage is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit – a journey toward healing and understanding. Join us in creating a world where ‘equity for all’ is honored, lived by and celebrated. The performance is free and open to the public.
