Dante Fuoco (playwright and performer) [all [pronouns) is queer educator, performer, and writer based in Brooklyn. He is about to have the world premiere of his bold solo work Blue Seal Blue Sea (or, gay boy grieves the death of gay-hating dad). Jolted by the sudden death of his estranged father, a gay man ventures back into the closet, where his childhood camcorder, TV, and family home videos are gathering dust. A fateful huff of “VCR cleaner” transports him through a growning galaxy, all the way to a watery world governed by Y2K technology. His name is now F@gg’aught Flamé, and if he ever wants to get back home, he has to play—and play with—VHS tapes from a forgotten past.

Fucoo and his director,  Clara Wiest talked to QUEERGURU about this highly personal piece that all the audience in previews related to very closely, and could see themselves in the work

PS There is a 15-performance run, November 6–23, 2025, at The Makers’ Space, 13 Grattan St. #408, East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11206.
