Presented by Dred Love Experience

Using a blend of poetry, dance, music and monologue, she explores the fragile, fluid definitions of sexual identity and cultural stereotypes. Starting off with "Dred," Gerestant's unflappably comical cross-dressing alter-ego, she takes the audience on a tour-de-soul of black male stereotypes, from a mack daddy with an atomic afro to a pimp decked out in the shabbiest of fabulous ghetto flash to a drag king trapped inside the body of a little girl. Through her performances Dred draws attention to how society domesticates us into our preconceived notions of sexuality, race, and gender. Her life, humanity, and spirituality, brings us a bit closer to recognizing and unlearning constraints, prejudices and stereotypes. Using theatre, dance, humor, and cultural history, Dred plays with gender roles and social/racial stereotypes to inspire all audiences to think about race, gender, identites. Her shows are not just about imitating the "opposite" sex, they are about freedom of self-expression and crossing/breaking boundaries. She inspires people to honor and accept the differences in their selves, and each other.
