Synopsis: | African American Army Air Corp fighters known as the Tuskegee Airmen who flew over the skies of Europe during World War II. The on-stage characters are joined by a griot-a traditional African storyteller-who through his tap dancing reveals the inner emotions of the airmen as they train and prepare for flight. Punctuating the scenes with rhythmic sound, the griot engages the imagination through tap dancing that helps to move the audience beyond the confines of the stage and take flight along with the airmen. Originally commissioned by Lincoln Center Institute as an educational play, Flypremieres as a full-length play that dramatizes the historic contributions made by the Tuskegee Airmen to the desegregation of the American military and furthering civil rights. | |||||
