CINEMATIC THOUGHTS of DAVID HOPPER pain into poetry

Alke CaféNew York, NY
Friday, June 12  •  7 PM - 10 PM
Overview

A raw, high‑impact spoken‑word show where one man flips his life moments into big‑screen emotion.

Cinematic Thoughts blends the emotional depth of poetry with the immersive atmosphere of cinema.

David Hopper, The Spoken Word Artist of the Now Generation. 2x author, advocate for change, curator and filmmaker stands under a lone spotlight, using voice, breath, and silence as tools to paint entire worlds. Each piece unfolds like a scene: shifting perspectives, jump cuts, slow‑motion reflections, and unexpected emotional close‑ups.


This is not a reading.

This is not a monologue.

This is a live, breathing, cinematic performance — projected not on a screen, but inside the audience’s mind.

Themes include:

* Self Discovery

* The Quiet Moments of Inner Reckoning

*Navigating Grief, Silence and Ghosts of the Past
