A big-hearted, messy, beautiful evocation of queer intimacy and queer longing, set in a bathhouse at the end of the world-and the sixteenth winner of the Yale Drama Prize. Selected from over 2,000 entries from 55 countries across 6 continents The Presenter, a "young," queer, Mexican-American public-speaking student, is thrust into the landscapes of queer intimacy, colonialism, and erotic community TONY AWARD NOMINATED JUDGE Jeremy O. Harris, who describes the play as "one of the most exciting speculative fictions I've encountered in years, using a unique dramaturgy to explore a queer history that is quickly being erased. It brought to mind the works of many heroes like Samuel Delany, Martin Crimp, and Kathy Acker." Jesús I. Valles is a queer Mexican immigrant, educator, and performer from Ciudad Juarez/El Paso. Their plays have been produced and developed by the Latino Theater Company, the Flea, the Bushwick Starr, and other companies. They live in Providence, RI.
