Description:
A comic-erotic-drama for adult audiences only, Dykeotomy is a funny, touching and erotic game of gender dodgeball! This is a performance for everyone who has gender – examined or not. In Dykeotomy, Dark narrates a tale of modern gender confusion – this time from the perspective of the gender-normative female lover. What does sexual orientation mean when gender shifts? What did it ever mean in the context of masculine lives in female-sexed bodies? Dark’s hilarious interactions with the audience regarding her confusion with dating are interspersed with her signature poetic stories -- tightly crafted, highly moving social snapshots. Dykeotomy was an Intercultural Dialogue Award finalist at the 2010 International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival! Curve Magazine names Dykeotomy one of the top 10 LGBT theater productions of 2009! "Kimberly is my favorite performer we've had at the Center. Her work is a thoughtful and well-crafted exploration of gender and sexuality that is fresh, and thought-provoking. She speaks her truth fearlessly, tackling both complex and controversial topics with a voice that is unique and beautiful." - David Mariner, Executive Director, The DC Center for the LGBT Community "The material is complex yet comedic, personal yet provocative. Perhaps storytelling of this nature is a lost art, but by the end ... I was completely enamoured with Dark and her tales." - Theatre Press (Melbourne, Australia) |
