About this commission
In NIC Kay’s must have character, two performers—a mascot and a drag performer—engage in a duet, staggering through The Shed’s public spaces throughout the day. As they move, the duo engages in a nonverbal dialogue about motivation and desire. The performance is a snapshot of performers facing their anxieties around entertaining, and restless audiences eager to escape the world of the pandemic and other crises.
must have character includes performances on August 1 and 2 and a public program on August 3. Check back for more details.
