“A haunting and eye-opening production," The New York Times. 
 

Erika Dickerson-Despenza’s Afro-surrealist play focuses on three generations of Black women living through the Flint, Michigan water crisis. As lead seeps into their home and their bodies, corrosive memories and secrets rise among them. Will this family ever be able to filter out the truth? CULLUD WATTAH blends form and bends time, and explores the toxic decisions of external forces, the internal contamination, and how we make the best choices for our families' futures when viable options are absent.
