DNAWORKS

DNAWORKS is adapting Joseph Conrad’s 1909 novella THE SECRET SHARER, considered an early Queer text, into a mixed-media performance. This devised work is an exploration of fragility, tenderness, and intimacy in times of personal duress and societal discrimination. In response to both an increase in hate crimes and the visibility of LGBTQQ2SPIAA+ youth suicides worldwide, THE SECRET SHARER provides a Queer-centered space for resiliency and healing with audience members sharing their own stories during the performance, interspersed at critical moments in the narrative.
