THEATRE EXILE / STUDIO X
When American student Kate stumbles into an underground circle of queers in Sénégal, her semester abroad transforms into an intimate tour of Dakar's hidden gay nightlife. What Kate learns from Aicha, Néné, and their friends could get her into grad school. That is, if she can convince them to consent to being studied.
A Knee That Can Bend explodes into the ethical sand-traps of searching for people like you in a country that doesn’t believe you exist.
Nominated for SEVEN 2016 Barrymore Awards including Outstanding New Play ➝
