Once Upon A Time: Josephine Baker

Once Upon a Time: Josephine Baker is a dazzling, time-bending portrait of one of the 20th century’s most iconic and enigmatic performers. Created by Austene Van and directed with flair by Maija García, this original biographical fantasia invites us into the electric mind of Josephine Baker on the night of her final curtain call in 1975. Infused with music, movement, and Baker’s inimitable spirit, Once Upon a Time: Josephine Baker is more than a biopic; it’s a theatrical reckoning with ones legacy and identity. As Baker asks herself what was real, what was fantasy, and what was both, audiences are swept into a kaleidoscopic celebration of a woman who danced her way into history—and never stopped fighting to define it on her own terms.
