Asphalt tells the story of Racine, an artist abandoned as a child, who walks out of his life and into the landscape of ritual hounting on the street of New York city. An aspiring DJ, he uses the element of jazz, classical and hip hop beats to transcend his urban reality and enter a world made right by music.

"Asphalt' is more avant garde than Broadway could ever hope to be."

-The Day

"It's a fascinating and gripping work."
