Speak of Love

By MATTHEW STIPANO

Speak of Love is a performance piece of monologues and discourses from pop culture that swap character’s gender in order to shed light on same-sex relationships and equality.

Recently, same-sex equality has garnered energy as a human rights cause. In parallel, the depiction of homosexuals and their relationships have entered into the norm of the arts and entertainment, using a personal interest for social progress. Speak of Love follows suit, presenting familiar heterosexual relationships from an assortment of material from pop culture in a homosexual context. Re-experiencing familiar storylines in this manner, the audience gains insight to how similar homosexual emotions and relationships are to their heterosexual counterparts.
