Behind Those Hazel Lies, a newly created play written by Mark-Anthony Zuniga and directed by Davvi Solomon, is a story about a gay man named Kavin who is convinced by his friends, Renzi (his roommate) and Phenni ( a ballet dancer who lives next door), to take a ballet class to help him get over Ethun, his ex-boyfriend. Unexpectedly, ballet is the catalyst that will test the bond between friends, create conflict with his mother, reveal secrets and promote healing. This student production is a play, but each scene will demonstrate a ballet term, which also represents the underlying theme. A staged reading of this play (previously titled Danseur Drama) was a Filament sparked by Suzan Zeder as part of The Cohen New Works Festival presented by the University Co-op in 2013.
Note: This show is for mature audiences only.
