Item Description
Our very own Metro DC PFLAG home grown talent has hit it in the big Apple. Dan Fishback, a MetroDC PFLAG son, performer and playwright, stars in his new play, "YOU WILL EXPERIENCE SILENCE," a production of Dixon Place, Off-Stage Fright Productions and the Six Points Fellowship.
Set in ancient Israel, at the dawn of the Chanukah war, the "chosen people" are bored and horny. Judah Maccabee (Dan Fishback), a surly queer teenager, travels to Jerusalem one day with his best friend Ezra (Max Steele). When they encounter a sexy Greek soldier (Joseph Keckler), they must reckon with their responsibilities -- to their people, to their libidos and to each other. Their story is interspersed with tale of Ian Fleishman (Dan Fishback), a crazed activist who spends his morning in bed, calling the White House to complain about the state of the world, the state of the war, and the state of his love life. Erotic, neurotic and dorky, performance artist Dan Fishback is fiercer than ever in this absurdist meditation on citizenship, imperialism and sexual ethics.
Also a folksinger and rock performer, Fishback's previous theater pieces have been performed at venues like Performance Space 122, Galapagos Art Space, Dixon Place and Brooklyn Arts Exchange. As a musician, he has toured Europe and North America in support of his albums. As a speaker, he regularly visits colleges across the country to talk about queer and Jewish identity formation.
