F. Punk Junkies is a high-octane, genre-defying performance that fuses theater, music, and movement into an electrifying, AfroPunk-inspired experience. Rooted in the 'AfroRican Punk' aesthetic, the piece draws on Orisha mythology, Black and Puerto Rican folk tales, and the energy of 1980s Black punk bands, immersing audiences in an exploration of ancestral roots, transformation, and human connection.
