"Jester" is a musical performance collaboration with Queer Artist Breton-Tyner Bryant. Exploring what it means to be an artist in the Trump era.
With a selective license to mock or speak freely towards one's king, JESTER is a timeless and ever-present personal reckoning of the spirit, after forced isolation. When identity and home are lost, we are left to realize what we've been looking for all along is ourselves.
Filmed in New York City's iconic West Village on Christopher Street, helmed by drag performers from the LGBTQ community, JESTER is a chapter, and as every chapter comes to an end, we turn the page without knowing its full consequences for the future.
With an original score performed by emerging trans vocalist Benjamin Fears of Indiana and written on Donald Trump's Presidential Inauguration in 2016, we are forced to ask ourselves what has changed? In times of political unrest, polarization is stressed, and as Benjamin sings, "Is it red or it is blue?" we are left to ponder the value of choosing a side.
Jester is an intimate look into the director-choreographer's vision as performed by Breton Tyner-Bryan and hopes to inspire unity, equality, and freedom of expression for a more inclusive world.
