The Only Story I Can Tell Is My Own, a One-Man Show with Eleven Women
Presented by Billy Mullaney

With “The Only Story I Can Tell Is My Own, a One-Man Show with Eleven Women”, Billy Mullaney uses his privileged access to the objective space of theater to explore and critique his privileged access to the objective space of theater. Engaging with his (necessarily) failed attempt at inter-subjective exchange, Mullaney articulates the vulnerability required to ethically pursue desire while negotiating the structures of power potentially appropriated by privilege. With one foot hovering over institutional critique as the other is firmly planted in unmitigated narcissism, Mullaney eschews his own product, building a ritual of consent and vulnerability, a residue of the performers’ practice of everyday life, pointing to “the possibility of an ethical heterosexual male [white, American, upper-middle-class, college-educated, literate, English-speaking, able-bodied, Christian-raised, right-handed…] desire.”

Tickets: $10 - $18 Sliding Scale
