ROBESON with Davóne Tines and The Truth
A Classical Americana Electro-Gospel Acid Trip
Davóne Tines and The Truth’s new work ROBESON explodes the musical repertoire of Paul Robeson alongside pianist John Bitoy and sound artist Khari Lucas.
Devised with director Zack Winokur, it premiered to huge acclaim last year in New York. Tynes reimagines Robeson’s signature anthems of protest, resilience, and reassurance. He both confronts the singer’s point zero and holds up a shattered mirror to the American dream, taking listeners on a trip from the stage of Carnegie Hall to the floor of a Moscow hotel room in an attempt to understand an icon through his vulnerability.
Indelibly associated with contemporary music, ‘Davóne Tines is changing what it means to be a classical singer’ says The New Yorker. He picked up a Grammy nomination for his recording of the title role in Anthony Davis’ X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X and created the role of Ned Peters in John Adams’ most recent opera Girls of the Golden West. Little wonder Time Magazine calls him ‘a next generation leader’.
