Fairfield University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts is proud to present Supaman, a dynamic and genre-defying performance by the Indigenous artist, on Tuesday, November 11 at 7 p.m.
Supaman (pronounced “sup-a-man”), also known as Christian Takes Gun Parrish, is a member of the Apsaalooke Nation (Crow) and an artist whose work defies easy categorization — part hip-hop emcee, part traditional dancer, part activist and spiritual storyteller.
In performance, Supaman blends the beat of contemporary hip-hop with the deep resonance of Indigenous drum, flute, storytelling, and choreography. His stage presence and lyrical work weave together themes of identity, resilience, unity, and healing.
Audiences can expect an immersive evening of rhythmic movement, rap, dance, and ritual, as Supaman bridges cultural traditions with contemporary sound. His ability to balance energetic performance with deeply reflective content has earned him appearances and awards on platforms like MTV, TEDx, and NPR.
This special presentation is offered at $20 for general admission, $10 for Quick Center members, and is free for Fairfield University students, faculty, and staff. Purchase tickets at quickcenter.fairfield.edu.
This event is a part of Fairfield University’s yearlong suite of arts and cultural programming, titled America250: The Promise and Paradox, which celebrates and examines the rich history of the United States on its 250th anniversary. In alignment with the national, state, and town celebration themes, the University offers events and programs that allow all to engage in meaningful conversations and storytelling while prompting thoughtful reflection about the common good, lessons learned, and the power of place.
The event is co-sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging; The Arts Institute of the John Charles Meditz College of Arts and Sciences; The Quick Center for the Arts; The Center for Arts and Minds; and the Fairfield University Student Association. WPKN is a media partner.
