LA MOSCA: A Solo Performance of my Own Design

Abstract

La Mosca is a solo performance intended for the stage that highlights the significance of familial values. It examines the way that values of masculinity were imposed upon me throughout my life, and how that directly influenced the relationship I have with my family. The performance illuminates this through the lens of an ancestral history in order to emphasize how these sentiments will continue in a cycle unless they are actively identified, examined, and broken.
