Although Hip-Hop Theatre has proven itself a formidable global arts movement with a large following around the globe, it is still misunderstood and conspicuously absent from major stages. In this performance, Danny Hoch brings together character monologues from his plays Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hopand Till The Break Of Dawn, to illustrate that Hip-Hop Theatre is not as much about the form as it is about the Hip-Hop generation; through spoken-word pieces from HBO's Def Poetry, he shows that issues of race, class, ownership, self-determination, the prison industrial complex, Reaganomics, police brutality, drugs, globalization and technology all contribute to what makes the Hip-Hop Generation all over the globe.

The video also includes a post-performance discussion with the artist, moderated by Marlène Ramírez-Cancio.
