kicked in the end: a magic show

Shawn DeSouza-Coelho—Son of Warehouse

This show was BRILLIANT. I was expecting a magic show, and he definitely delivered. I even participated in one of the first tricks that had my heart rate extremely elevated, but this is also a very compelling and poignant storytelling show. Shawn DeSouza-Coelho shared his story as a performing artist and delivered a powerful message about the nature of theatre as experienced by someone in a visible minority, and the show is a very important discussion about race. I particularly loved the profound wisdom written into the clever and engaging dialogue. It is a very entertaining and moving show, and unconventional in many ways. The last thing I scribbled in my notes was WOW, so make sure you make time for this one. He’s also got a few books available to purchase if you choose regarding aspects of magic and the theatre. I loved it and highly recommend it.
