"Slip of the Tongue"



Adapted from the poem "Slip Of The Tongue" written and performed by Adriel Luis. "What's your ethnic make up?" A young man makes a pass at a beautiful stranger and gets an eye-opening schooling on race and gender. Directed by Karen Lum, produced by Youth Sounds Factory.

I'm sharing this from YouTube.com. I found this some time ago and I am still impressed with the movement and message in this spoken word poetic performance. I really like the metaphors and play on words. You might have to listen to it a couple of times to catch it all, because part of the impact of spoken word performance IS the performance.
