About this commission
An Episode: Ricky’s Room is a journey through music, dance, poetry, and video as told by Ricky and exploring what happens when multiple spirits want to create a home within the same vessel. What does it look like when the people created inside of you by gender, race, anger, and fear are given the space to breathe, make jokes, and act out? How do you reconstruct a self time and time again? Music from the show will be released in album form on PTP this summer.
