Share this event
Spit Verse & DUB is more than a performance—it's a celebration of Caribbean voice, rhythm, and storytelling. Uniting the extraordinary talents of acclaimed Jamaican spoken word artist Judith Falloon-Reid and internationally celebrated dub poet Malachi Smith, this captivating production blends spoken word, poetry, storytelling, and dub poetry into a rich tapestry of culture, identity, resilience, love, social justice, and hope. Powerful, authentic, and deeply engaging, Spit Verse & DUB entertains, inspires, and challenges audiences, leaving them moved long after the final verse.
Incorporating reggae rhythms and jazz in a style she calls jazzetry, Judith’s poetry can be hard-hitting, tackling social and controversial issues while not neglecting her softer, more nostalgic side with love poems and odes to Jamaica.
Drawing from a rich and expansive body of work, Malachi commands the stage with compelling dub poetry that challenges social and political injustic with the same passion and artistry that he honors love, celebrates Caribbean identity, and pays tribute to the region's legendary icons.
