. . .Or Does It Explode? provides poetic, thought-provoking, and frequently
confrontational language in its journey though the psychic and social

experience. Directed by John Dayo Aliya, this show includes dramatic
vignettes utilizing music, poetry, and traditional theatrical forms. The

stories were turned into a play by co-writers John Dayo Aliya and John
Smith.
