We the Messiah is a Hip Hop remix and social justice reimagining of Handel’s Messiah in which three
Immortal Emcees embark on an epic path to social change, facing power, passion, and persecution
while holding on to the promise of a better future. A theatrical concert driven by verses, beatboxing,
live looping, community voices, and classical music, We the Messiah is a melodic ode to activism, a
crescendo call for collective action, and an instrumental invitation to awaken the Messiah that lives in
us all. The production features Hip Hop Theatre Artist Darian Dauchan, Kelly GreenLight, Neil
Totten, Violinist Curtis Stewart, and the PUBLIQuartet. We the Messiah is directed by Daniel Banks.
