Night falls in London and a drag queen named Gloria takes to the stage. A young and shy new dancer named Kandi catches Gloria's eye, and the queen decides to help the dancer develop his talents. As the two draw closer under the neon lights, will a romantic relationship bloom between mentor and mentee?
Relationships are extremely complex, especially when it comes to mentoring and attraction. It’s like if ‘All About Eve’ was queerer. I really found the twists to be shocking and surprising, and I was impressed with how the narrative was explored. Great work!
Ever serene and complex, a thoughtful moment is never wasted in what can only be described as Sergei Alexander’s masterpiece. He provides a tightly written script that explores the complexities of sexuality, family, and one’s identity. Paul Stone and Jean-Philippe Boriau take his direction and utilize it in powerful and striking performances. “Your Eyes on Me” shouldn’t be missed.
