SUMMARY:This Show is My Funeral
DESCRIPTION:Brick Aux presents\nThis Show is My Funeral\nby Josephine Simple\nOctober 13-21\, 2023 – $20-50\nat Brick Aux – 628 Metropolitan Ave \nThis show is a funeral for my pre-transition self. For real. It’s probably one of the funnier funerals you will ever attend. Come mourn and celebrate with me the life I used to have. \nWritten and performed by Josephine Simple (she/her)\nDirected by Henry Kandell (she/they/he)\nProduced by Jennifer Downes (she/her) \nWhen certain people in my life found out about my transition\, they started talking about my old self as though “he” was a different person from me\, and as though “he” had died. I found this alienating\, pretty irrelevant to my own experience\, and\, frankly\, annoying. And I also saw the theatrical appeal and decided to take the metaphor of transition as death and rebirth seriously. Where I ended up was not at all what I expected. \nImage Credit: The deceased at 22\, photographed by Douglas Gorenstein \ncw: startlingly attractive lead actor & thematic content around death \nSpecial Thanks: The Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism & Zen Center of New York City \n*** \n \nThe Brick is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
