Written and performed by D’Lo
Born Gay into a Tamil-Sri Lankan Hindu family and raised by Hip Hop.
“Gay Hindu Hip Hop – These 3 things make me but don’t allow for one another. This is my attempt at fusing these elements of my being (and my imaginary friends) onto the stage” – D’Lo
Weaving personal stories through poetry, music, comedy and video, D’Lo also presents a parade of characters, real and imaginary. These diverse, flawed characters come to share their stories – exploring contradictions of existing in America where one’s immigrant traditions and culture are constantly challenged; battling against ignorance, even in friendships and relationships; and finally, reflecting stories of love that show D’Lo’s belief that “you can’t call yourself a revolutionary if you have a problem being nice.”
a “jolt of creative and comedic energy”, D’Lo is a Tamil Sri L.A.nkan-American, political theatre artist/writer, director, comedian and music producer. D’Lo loves to make people laugh and think – in no particular order.
“impressive versatility”…… – NYTheatre.com

“D’Lo’s humor, pathos, and d’lightful d’meanor keep the audience engaged at all times.” Mike Ward, Bay Times
