“ An astonishing play. In rhythmic cadences evocative of heartbeats, dripping water, tides, three characters endure a slow-motion apocalypse and the human need—and fear—of being known.

FF is about gender, and also transcends it. Tay, Jamerson’s nonbinary protagonist, speaks the play’s themes most directly: about their desire to exist outside of their body, and feeling most themself when not being perceived. Yet all three characters buck against the outside world’s attempts to define them, and posses a universally relatable desire to be embraced in all their contradictions, pleading “stop telling me I don’t exist”. ”

“ There’s a powerful and gorgeous sense of liminality throughout Fly Jamerson’s play. Three characters explore their identities—embracing their fluidity, understanding what it means to construct them, and navigating how we are perceived and move in the world—against a backdrop of a melting Antarctica. Jamerson pushes back against the imagined sterility of a frozen landscape and creates a visually stunning play where life, death, and rebirth all bleed into one another. ”

“ Three researchers investigate the implications of global climate change, its effects on plankton and algae blooms, and the calamity of masses of dying whales. Exhibiting either dreams or madness, each get caught in spectacular considerations on identity, the importance of naming the animals, as Adam was said to have done, naming themselves, and naming each other. An Antarctic fever dream, stretching back to the beginning of time to the present moment, from when humans were all genders in one being, before being split apart by the gods, or by God, or by nature. It's gorgeous, and I highly recommend it. ”

“ We are pleased to support this play! It was a Finalist for the 2020 New Works Festival at Kitchen Dog Theater in Dallas, Texas. ”
