D'LO
REFLECTIONS & RAMBLES WHILE RELEVATING REVOLUTIONARIES
Performance, Wednesday, February 11, 7:00 pm, Wang Theater
Workshop, Thursday, February 12, 7:00 pm, Wang Chapel
With biting insight, D'Lo, a Tamil Sri-Lankan American, props an
uncompromisingly hilarious mirror to the stereotypes of South Asian culture,
American life, and challenges misconceptions about sexual orientation and
queer lifestyles in a performance that has been inspiring audiences on college
campuses throughout the United States. Described as a "jolt of creative and
comedic energy," this political theatre artist/writer and music producer uses
Hip-Hop to form the foundation for creative activism, which D'Lo has shared
with diverse youth as a teaching artist. (Part of the South Asian American
Series)
