Here's the description of the show on the Berkeley Rep web site:
Get ready for a hyperkinetic mix of live video,
hip hop, jazz, rock, gospel, blues, Latin rhythms, and spoken word as
the explosive theatre ensemble UNIVERSES rocks and unlocks the radical
and complicated legacy of the Black Panthers and Young Lords. These
seminal activists fought injustice, provided free food and medical care
for their communities—and struggled against a government determined to
suppress them. Based on dozens of interviews, Party People
imagines the Black Panthers and Young Lords reuniting today at an art
opening curated by a couple of young counterculturists, where old wounds
open and generations collide. What is the price of being a
revolutionary, and what happens to those who come after?
Party People was developed in The Ground Floor, Berkeley Rep’s Center for the Creation and Development of New Work.
