*"On stage he is a force of nature, fierce in his intensity and searing
honesty."* —Washington Times

*Marc Bamuthi Joseph fuses hip-hop, spoken word and live music in **Scourge*
*, a powerful look at the history of his native Haiti*. Shining his
passionate light on questions of identity, cultural legacy and assimilation,
Bamuthi Joseph explores the narrow space between history, myth and
speculation. *Scourge* is a rich collaboration between Bamuthi Joseph and
renowned *Latin jazz composer John Santos, choreographers Rennie Harris and
Adia Whitaker, director Kamilah Forbes* and the emerging voices of three
young writers from San Francisco's Youth Speaks.
