Performance Schedule:

In this autobiographical play, writer-performer Dante Fuoco (an MFA Creative Writing student at Virginia Tech) excavates fifteen years of family home video—not only the sweet early years, curated by Dad, but also the tortured tween years, filmed by son. When Dante’s repressed queer desires are suddenly exposed, he must reckon with telling the truth after decades of lies.
This student-driven project incorporates collaborators from the Creative Writing program, the School of Visual Arts, and the School of Performing Arts in a bold, transdisciplinary undertaking. Visiting artist Clara Wiest is returning to direct the piece, after directing the first iteration in 2019 at New York's Dixon Place. They are a New York based stage director, movement director, acrobat, dancer and performer.
Admission is free though tickets are encouraged.
Seating in the Cube is limited; be sure to reserve your free ticket ASAP at: https://www.tinyurl.com/sealsoloplay.
Note: Some potentially activating content in the show includes R-rated language and sexual themes/images, as well as explorations of violence, homophobia, and transphobia.
