This bilingual solo performance grapples with history like a best frenemy. The Darb is an earnest millennial clown with one big hope: if they can connect to thier queer ancestors thier own role in life will become clear. The Darb unearths two gender non-conforming ancestors who’s lives they hope to learn something from. Le Monje Alferez is a conquistador at the turn of the 17th centuryfor who ran away from parental expectations of piety and a simple life in the convent and toward the brutal conflict of the Arauco war and other South American atrocities. The Publik Universal Friend is a self-proclaimed genderless profit from a New England Quaker family who rose to prominence around the time of the American Revolutionary War. What The Darb discovers in embodying their lives and it’s implications for how to move forward in today’s world cannot be unseen. This deeply researched and enriching conversation across five centuries of American colonization uses puppets, poetics and projections to honor the gender diversity of ancestors while refusing to look away from their transgressions.
