Beatboxing, spoken word and hip-hop dance reimagine the true story of the night Californian policemen shot dead nineteen-year-old Tyisha Miller as she lay unconscious in a car. Tyisha's depiction of the innocent pleasures of her life and hopes for the future, told with sweetness, humour and teenage insight contrast with the violence of her death shown in an autopsy report recited by a dispassionate coroner, describing each of her twelve bullet wounds in clinical detail. This highly acclaimed, clear-eyed look at the relationship between race, the body and violence has been performed across the US and the world.
