AZUKA/SIMPATICO THEATER COMPANIES

1 LB 4 OZ

BY: KHALIL MUNIR

"In her director’s note, Amina Robinson writes about her deep connection with Munir, noting that, “This show is very Philly. This show is very Black Philly.” That authenticity runs through every element of the piece. Rather than explaining South Philadelphia culture, 1 Pound 4 Ounces invites us inside it. We are not spectators but family." Josh Herren Broad Street Review

"1 Pound 4 Ounces is a deeply personal work that becomes something collective: a portrait of a community, a tribute to Black artistry, and a love letter to Philadelphia itself."  Josh Herren Broad Street Review
