DV8 Physical Theatre @ YBCA

DV8: To Be Straight With You, Nov 12-14, 2009, Novellus Theater at YBCA— Hard-hitting and passionate, you will not be able to resist this life affirming show.— The Guardian, London

A leader in Britains contemporary dance scene, London's DV8 Physical Theatre presents To Be Straight With You, an explosive multimedia dance theater piece that examines tolerance, intolerance, religion and homosexuality in the UK. DV8s multi-ethnic cast brings to life stories gleaned from hundreds of hours of audio interviews. Every word spoken on stage comes directly from the interviewees, many of whom requested anonymity for fear of reprisal from their own communities. A poignant and visceral theatrical experience that will resonate with San Francisco audiences as gay marriage continues to be a hot-button issue in American politics. http://www.ybca.org/tickets/production/view.aspx?id=9117
