Fusing memoir, concert, and cabaret, Jodie Landau takes up stories of his life in a personal exploration of love, sex, gender, and family. This debut solo show features original chamber rock compositions written and performed by Landau, backed by a six-piece band of contemporary music all-stars. Performance of Self reflects on the tension Landau has found amidst crafting, curating, and codifying his identity. While labels and definitions have provided comfort to the artist and those around him, this autobiographical piece also considers the ways definitions can also feel limiting in their imperfection. With commentary ranging from online dating to boy bands, Landau contends with what it means to not quite fit into the boxes society constructs in a poignant and funny performance.
