Saturday's [March 11th, 2023] world premier or HOOPS, by Eliana Pipes with original music by B~Free based on The HOOPS Project by Nicole Acosta, was an opus of social commentary that other narratives of Culture have never really grappled with. . . well, at least until now. Its unapologetic portrayal of Hoop earrings as an legacy adornment spoke to the range of existence that is tied to these magical objects that hang from one's earlobe like an extension of their souls.
