Silk Road Theatre Project presented an eclectic late-night celebration of music, dance, painting, poetry and theatre, as part of the Chicago Loop Alliance's all night party, Looptopia. Visitors were invited to join in as we read and discussed seven brief, brilliant, and irreverent plays written by Suzan-Lori Parks. The event also included visual artist Joel Maxime Jr.'s live painting of visual responses to the plays, as well as dancing with the actors as Indian-American choreographer Alka Nayyar taught the crowd a Punjabi folk dance called Bhangra.
