Daddy AF
Co-Presented with Jacob's Pillow

Saturday, May 3, 8pm

“Roussève’s dance-theater … offers a succinct and lyrical look at how the highs and lows of life collide.” – Sarah Kaufman, The Washington Post

Celebrated dance-theater artist David Roussève’s Daddy AF is an intimate meditation on life’s purpose, created and performed by a queer African American man acutely aware of the finite time he has left on the planet. Like strands of DNA, this powerful in-progress work connects 600 years of genealogy, a roller coaster journey with HIV, and the shattering loss of a husband - while revisiting movement from 35 years of dance-making to explore the meaning of ‘virtuosity’ for a 63-year old body.
