"Roussève is one of the modern dance world's great stage personalities." —The Washington Post
Celebrated dance-theater artist David Roussève creates his first full-length solo performance in more than 20 years. Becoming Daddy AF is an intimate meditation on life’s purpose, created and performed by a queer African American acutely aware of the finite time he has left on the planet.
Like strands of DNA, it connects elements encoded in his body, including 600 years of genealogy (from France, Portugal Germany, Mali, Senegal, Haiti, and Cuba), a roller coaster journey with HIV, and the shattering loss of a husband of 26 years — while revisiting movement from 35 years of dance-making to explore the meaning of virtuosity for a 65-year old body. Becoming Daddy AF is the portrait of a man defying death, though he is unable to fully embrace life.
