Duat
DUAT at Soho Rep Fall 2016
“shimmering harmony…an exploration of life and what lies beyond…a sumptuously homemade production.”
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“Put on your fanciest heels and strut over to the Connelly Theater…If you have loved Jomama Jones as a soul diva, you will lose your mind for her as a kind and encouraging teacher.”
– Helen Shaw, Time Out New York
“Jones’s…exuberantly odd concoction combines personal and communal histories with Egyptian mysticism, a passionate ode to libraries, and meditations on afterlives of all kinds…delightfully fantastical”
– Miriam Felton-Dansky, The Village Voice
“Afterwards, the word that kept spinning in my head as I wandered to the subway…was ‘joyous’…DUAT is fierce, funny and mournful; a sung, sometimes whispered, ode to race, queerness and difference.”
– Tom Wicker, Exeunt
