Name of Company: Fehu Harvest Production
Name of Show: MASKS OF AN IMMIGRANT
- Why should people see your show?
story about an immigrant wanting to be loved and accepted. it is universal
- What about festivals intrigues you? Any why the Atlanta Fringe?
The fear of exposing my deepest secrets and doing it anyway.
- What inspired you to create this?
My commitment is do work that moves people deeply no matter what. Art is not your friend & if it rattles your cage all the better.
- This year ain’t normal and there’s no sense pretending it is. How has Covid affected what you’re doing for this festival?
My credo now is: “CARPE DIEM”
There are some very dark moments in my story that I had to eliminate because it would have been hard on the audience considering these times we are living in. We barely just got through Covid and that’s a conjecture, but I believe we have and now we are watching the sufferings of an unjust war in Ukraine. I have an autobiography manuscript in the works for a book.
- What have you learned from working on your show so far?
I have done some bold things I regret and some bold things I am proud of
and that I need to do a trilogy like the Oedipus Rex
- There’s a mysterious stranger in the back row of your show, wearing a big ol’ N95 mask and a baseball cap and there’s something weirdly familiar about them, and then they come up afterwards to tell you they loved your show. In your WILDEST DREAMS, who is this mysterious stranger? (Bonus points if your mysterious stranger is an Atlanta celeb.)
Tyler Perry! Phoebe Waller Bridge! Oprah Winfrey! Sidney Poitier! John Leguizamo, and Spalding Grey!
- Fringes are the place to really push the boundaries so we gotta ask: are you inviting your family to this show are “Hey, maybe sit this one out you guys…”
Everyone’s welcome
- We’ve asked this question every year for the past ten years or so but it hits different this year: Will your show change the world?
It may change the lives of some who watches it.
- Zoom meetings: dress up head to toe or Donald Duck it?
Head to toe
- We’re making an excellent Fringey Feelings playlist. Describe your show in two or three songs we can add to keep the jams flowing.
