Shades of a Queen (U.S. Premiere)
September 21, 2015
8 PM - Experimental Theater
Shades of a Queen is a coming-of-age, coming-to-self, coming-out piece exploring the identity constructs of an African queer child. The creative process was based on personal experiences and challenges in the journey to coming out both literally and metaphorically. Her Majesty the Queen (aka Mmakgosi, which translates to ‘‘The Mother of the Chief“) battles with stepping out of the house and out of the closet. She confronts herself in all her majestic glory, and the demons and counter-masks that reveal themselves as identity constructs come into being from mundane interactions with the world.
