ABOUT
Created by award-winning theater ensembles Mondo Bizarro and ArtSpot Productions, Cry You One is an unforgettable look at the interconnectedness of land and culture in Louisiana. Part song, part story, part procession for our lost land, Cry You One celebrates the people and cultures of South Louisiana while turning clear eyes on the challenges we face.
