This is a work-in-progress presentation of TRAPT, a new devised investigative theatre work by Stacey Rose in collaboration with her son and up-and-coming music producer Noiz directed by Candis C Jones. TRAPT, part fable/part documentary theatre, explores the world of trap music, its artists, and its culture. Inspired by the events surrounding the legal woes of Soundcloud rapper Tay K 47, TRAPT seeks to understand the motivation behind the music, the infamy that propels its biggest stars toward success, and the reasons why America loves it so much.
