TL;DR Summary

A minimalist and poetic staging of Tarell Alvin McCraney's 'The Brothers Size' at The Shed explores themes of social and racial enclosures, brotherhood, and Black masculinity through symbolic staging, powerful performances, and Yoruba-inspired myth, though its abstract style sometimes distances the audience from the characters' emotional depth.
