praise for BLACK MOON

Karma Mayet Johnson was absolutely captivating with her vocals and intermittent segments of spoken word – her voice so elegant and sensual it transported us to a different state of mind, where pain and beauty coexist.
– EXAMINER
The protagonist is a monstrous black creature, the glam-fabulous performer Monstah Black, who has refashioned the modernist landmark from the perspective of an African-American artist in a country led by a black President.
– THE NEW YORKER
Mr. Black, with a vivacious sense of play, transformed himself into a sad, clownish character as if he were the star of a nightclub act. Prancing around the stage in a pair of red platform heel-less boots — kind of amazing, really — he shifted from humorous to heartbreaking, wearing his character like a mask.
– THE NEW YORK TIMES
Something about a black moon just doesn’t feel right – that luminous disk in the night sky is supposed to be white. Watching the world premiere of “Black Moon (La Lune Noir)” you imagine that’s a feeling that black men have had in America for a long time – a world of contradictions, in which many things are just not right.
