Florida Premiere of RiseUp CARNIVAL STUDIO THEATER
Florida Premiere of RiseUp
CARNIVAL STUDIO THEATER
Friday, August 14, 2009, 8pm
RiseUp is a journey into the heart of Jamaica - the island that gave birth to the worldwide cultural phenomenon of Reggae. In a society where talent abounds and opportunity is scarce, three distinct and courageous artists fight to rise up from obscurity and write themselves into the pages of history.
With music and appearances by legends Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, and a slew of soon-to-be superstars, RiseUp follows artists from the dangerous streets, back alleys and crowded dancehalls of Kingston, to the picturesque countryside. These artists demonstrate the raw power of hope and courage in a land which is largely unseen, but certainly not unsung.
Welcome to the Jamaican underground music scene.
These special screenings celebrate the Adrienne Arsht Center in association with Jan Ryan, Robert Fox and Michael White presents the Theatre Royal Stratford East and UK Arts production of The Harder They Come by Perry Henzell.
Free for Adrienne Arsht Center Members, $10 for non-members.
Seating is limited. RSVP is required for all members. Call 786.468.2040 or email membership@arshtcenter.org.
Non-members can purchase tickets online or call Box Office at 305.949.6722.
There will be a 30 minute Q&A with RiseUp director Luciano Blotta after each screening. RiseUp just recently won best music documentary at AFI/Discovery Channel's national documentary film festival Silverdocs. For more information on the film, visit www.riseupmovie.com. Questions about the screening, please contact the Membership Department at 786.468.2040.
