Inventive. Collaborative. Transformative. The Tony Award winning Lookingglass Theatre Company was founded in 1988 by eight Northwestern University students. Now, Lookingglass anchors an ensemble of artists creating work that is physical, aurally rich and visually metaphoric. The Company has staged 70 world premieres, receiving 161 Joseph Jefferson Award Nominations.

It mixes music from the Civil Rights Era and the Black Panther Party, news reports and political speeches, and ephemeral and symbolic sounds to articulate public expressions of Black rage.
It Was A Rebellion (House Mix) plays on the political roots of Black with a Chicago-style dance party vibe.
