Vladimir and Rosa

At L’Alliance New York, *Vladimir and Rosa* arrives as a rock/pop stage work that revisits the 1970s trial of Angela Davis and the courtroom theater staged in response. It tracks how political spectacle becomes culture, and how culture, in turn, shapes the story a city tells about itself. In New York, where protest history and performance often share the same streets, the piece reads as local as it is historical. Its sharpest move is refusing easy sainthood, keeping attention on systems rather than heroes.
