Aportia Chryptych: A Black Opera For Portia White
Yet despite such artistic accomplishments, her story has been erased from Canadians’ collective memory.
Working against this history, Aportia Chryptych is a bold, new Black opera that sets out to reclaim Portia White’s story, evoking memories of the past as a form of political resistance. Spoken word, rap, folk songs, hip-hop, R&B, and classic opera repertoire collide in an explosive score that seeks to break down musical silos and unite artistic and cultural communities.
