About For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide

Six young Black men meet up in group therapy and discuss everything: father figures, fashion, African empires, lost loves and jollof rice. Good days, bad days and everything in between are thrown into the ring as they let their imaginations flourish and connections grow. Lingering on the threshold between hopeful fantasy and brutal reality, For Black Boys combines music, movement, poetry and confessional storytelling as these six men clash, connect, survive and thrive.

For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide is inspired by American playwright Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf and was originally written by Ryan Calais Cameron in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death in 2013.
