Beschreibung

The only rule is to break the rules.In a parallel present, two queer radicals meet in the fallout of The Second American Civil War. If love is the most radical act, can their desire survive the revolution?Based on Montaigne's intellectual love affair with political thinker Étienne de La Boétie, Sylvan Oswald's brand-new play Trainers is a visionary story exploring the different ways we can connect as lovers, activists, and humans.

Oswald Sylvan

Sylvan Oswald is an interdisciplinary artist originally from Philadelphia who creates plays, texts, publications, and video. His work uses metatheatricality and formal irreverence to explore the ways we construct our identities.

His plays and collaborations include High Winds (based on the book of the same name he co-authored with graphic designer Jessica Fleischmann, now out from X Artists' Books), A Kind of Weather (CTG, Playwrights Horizons/Clubbed Thumb Superlab), Sun Ra (Joe´s Pub, Jerome Travel and Study Grant, Soho Rep Writer-Director Lab), Profanity (Undermain Theater, Dallas; Six Points Fellowship, Soho Rep Dorothy Strelsin Fellowship), Nightlands (New Georges, Full Stage Commission from New Dramatists), Pony (About Face Theater, Chicago), and Vendetta Chrome (Clubbed Thumb). Honors include a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship, a Rosati Fellowship from Duke University Libraries, the Thom Thomas award from The Dramatists Guild, a Jerome Fellowship, and residencies at Sundance/Ucross, Macdowell Colony, and Yaddo. He is a member of CTG's Writers' Workshop, an affiliated artist at Clubbed Thumb and an alum of New Dramatists.
