Campo Santo, Roger Guenveur Smith | Transform Fest Spring 2018

Award-winning and Oscar-nominated actor, writer, and director Roger Guenveur Smith (A Huey P. Newton Story, Frederick Douglass Now) teams up with San Francisco–based performance group Campo Santo to direct the world premiere of their new performance piece, Casa de Spirits. This multidisciplinary work follows a group of people through their interactions with liquor stores in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, unearthing local histories by mixing stories from liquor store life, tales through the decades of the neighborhood, and the Book of Revelation. It is an exploration of what the community has survived and what it will see after another chapter of massive changes. This must-see collaboration expands on Guenveur Smith’s stunning body of work creating living history pieces, often as solo performance creations, this time imagined for a diversely talented cast of Campo Santo actors.
