Defining Infinity
exploring the infinite spectrums
of gender identity and sexual orientation
June 6-9
The MeX Theater at The Kentucky Center
DEFINING INFINITY is an original devised piece that explores the infinite spectrums of gender identity and sexual orientation. Created by a team of queer artists and allies, this latest version follows a core group of close friends and uses natural realism, creative movement, and theatrical time travel to explore how gender and sexuality norms have been challenged through the lifetimes of the characters. Though the play does not shy away from experiences of trauma, it looks at them from the perspective of how we can come together with our found family members to heal from past pains and celebrate queer joy and community. It lifts up how we, like everyone else, can live, love, rejoice, and honor each other and ourselves.
This show has a long history of development! It was originally conceived of by pansexual non-binary LFL co-founder, Trina Fischer, in 1993 at Northwestern University. In 2016 and 2017, LFL adapted the existing 20 min script into a one act for presentation at our 15th anniversary festival UnHeard OutLoud. This workshop version was then presented at Berea College Convocations in 2019. The show has never been fully produced, and much has happened since it was last performed. The conversation around LGBTQIA+ rights has changed in the years since, especially as anti-queer legislation has been introduced across the country. In response, the now 50% queer LFL ensemble felt called to deeply re-examine and revise this piece for the current moment.
