Gezon Theater | LOOK ME IN THE EYES: Stories of Intimacy and Sexuality | Over the past year, fifty members of the Calvin community (students, alumni, and faculty) were interviewed about their life experiences pertaining to intimacy and sex. Seven of those interview transcripts were selected to be a part of the script for LOOK ME IN THE EYES: Stories of Intimacy and Sexuality. The script consists entirely of the words of the anonymous interviewees, as portrayed by actors. Helmed by David Ellens, a Calvin alumnus, LOOK ME IN THE EYES is a deep, honest, challenging exploration of interpersonal intimacy and sex's place within it. Presented in partnership with Campus Ministries and the Gender Studies department, with an optional talk-back session after each performance. All performances are free and non-ticketed. |
