ISSUE welcomes back Ashley Paul, performing alongside longtime mentor and renowned pianist-composer Anthony Coleman. The evening also features artist M Lamar presenting American Cuck, a multimedia video, environmental installation, and musical performance exploring the maintenance of white supremacy.

Calling himself a "devil worshipping free black man in the blues tradition," M. Lamar crafts sprawling operatic narratives of radical racial and sexual transformation. His newest music theater piece, DESTRUCTION is a futuristic salvaging of the negro spirit in a destroyed western world in flames.
