Kill Move Paradise

The Ashby Stage
1901 Ashby Ave. Berkeley

Kill Move Paradise gives voice to the black men killed solely because of the fear of the color of their skin. From playwright James Ijames: "[The play] takes the Elysium of Greek antiquity and flips the script. Set in a netherworld prepared for its newly deceased inhabitants, we follow Isa, Daz, Grif and Tiny as they try to make sense of the world they have been 'untimely ripped' from and this new paradise they now inhabit. Inspired by recent events, Kill Move Paradise gives a portrait of the slain, not as degenerates who deserved death, but as heroes who demand we see them for the splendid beings they are."
