Victory Gardens Theatre presents Exercise your demons: a play on the trauma of a gay male body, an Ignite Chicago reading. A spokesperson for the reading describes the script by saying, “ Max wants to be healthy. Brooks is his personal trainer. Russell is a gym rat. Wiley makes money using OnlyFans. Looming amongst them is The Demon, an amalgamation of their greatest desire and fear—and there's much more than exercise at stake when these men meet up at their local gym. In the aftermath of suicide, a group of artists must grapple with grief, sex, identity, body image, performance, and the demons that live inside all of us.”
Written by Gage Tarlton and directed by Ryan Dobrin, and with movement direction by Breon Arzell, Exercise your demons: a play on the trauma of a gay male body, is a part of the Ignition New Play Program.
