Live at Club Zebra

"Live at Club Zebra" by directors David and Matthew Adeboyé (The Adeboyé Brothers) dives into the heart of Atlanta's creative renaissance from the mid-1980s to the 1990s. The documentary unveils the untold story of Club Zebra—a floating speakeasy and bohemian cabaret born from the visionary minds of award-winning writers and life partners, Zaron Burnett and Pearl Cleage. Frustrated by the confines of traditional theater, Zaron dreamed of a space where artistry could break free. With Pearl’s encouragement, that dream became Club Zebra—a sanctuary for rebellion, imagination, and raw creativity. Through never-before-seen archival footage and deeply personal interviews with artists and patrons, the film paints a vivid portrait of a movement that redefined Atlanta’s cultural landscape.
