A collaboration between choreographer Edisa Weeks and composer Joe Phillips for an evening-length performance that integrates Weeks' dance company Delirious Dances and the live music of Phillips and his Orchestra Numinous. The work explores the writings of Thomas Paine and his spirited advocacy for freedom and democracy in America. The piece inquires: how are freedom and democracy packaged and promoted in America? How do Weeks and Phillips as African-Americans answer that question, and how do other communities address the question? Essentially, what is the promise of America that Paine so fervently wrote about, and is America living up to it?
