Welcome to my Homepage presents David & Jonathan by Tristan B Willis.
Project Description
Tristan B Willis’s David & Jonathan is a play-script that uncovers the story of two guys, a golden boy (Jonathan) and a short king (David), who grow up and fall in love through a Where’s Waldo style search across four images, each representing one act of the love story. Drawing on their fraught relationship with their upbringing, Tristan portrays the complex experiences of queer identity and love in the carefully selected snippets you must search for and the corresponding scenes that are revealed. Your heart is bound to flutter, break, and yearn as you read each part.
Artist Bio
Tristan B Willis is a DC-based writer exploring trans and queer stories and the intersection of theatre and games. As a former resident of the Orchard Project’s Liveness Lab and CultureHub’s Writing for Electronic Formats, Tristan discussed and cultivated new ways of presenting theatrical work in digital and distanced spaces, including online and over the phone. In 2023, Tristan wrote, performed, and streamed “in a way that matters,” developed as part of The Kennedy Center’s Local Theatre Residency at the REACH with further support from Caridad Svich and The Lucille Lortel Theatre.
