Toronto Dance Theatre: Solo for Syreeta Hector
From darkness she emerges in glaring light at centre stage.
INTERVIEWER: When did you feel like you were suddenly invisible?
SYREETA: My mom couldn’t handle it when my Dad told her he was gay. We left with two suitcases. All of my stuff was gone. I went from being confused about who my parents were and the only black kid in the school, to being one of many blacks in a segregated American school. If I was honest about who I was -- a black kid that talked like a white girl that wanted to be a ballerina with gay parents, I wouldn’t have had any friends.
Made for Syreeta Hector by Sook-Yin Lee with Adam Litovitz
