On March 6-10, Double Edge Theatre will preview its original solo performance SUGA, with the premiere slated for the Fall. The performance is conceived, created, and performed by Travis Coe and directed by Stacy Klein. Travis, a DE Associate Ensemble Artist, began working on SUGA in 2016 as he explored the Afro-Caribbean/Latinx history of his family, and their native lands spanning Belize, Nicaragua, and Puerto Rico. Klein, DE's Founder and Artistic Director, watched some of Travis' early creative process and began working in dialogue together with Travis to develop the material and create this performance. It is an investigation of freedom, and the bounds personal, artistic, societal, and political one must break through to achieve that end. As a caretaker of a museum of memory, Coe touches/reveals/remixes all the aspects of himself as Queer, Black, Latino, and American, to find the path to sing, fly, run - toward Freedom.
