University of Illinois, Krannert Center for Performing Arts presents David Roussève in Stardust which explores the evolving nature of intimacy in our technology-driven, furiously-paced world. Redefining the coming of age story for the electronic age, the evening-length piece follows an African American gay urban teenager who is never seen onstage yet is present through the emotionally laden tweets and text messages he sends. While not autobiographical, like some of Roussève's work, it is intensely personal.
