Male Matriarch” produced by Alive Theatre
Male Matriarch, the autobiographical story of its star and creator Amir Levi, challenges postmodern gay identity through his cultural desire to create a nuclear family based on traditional values. Strongly influenced by the love stories of his mother and grandmother, Amir shares his Builla’s rhythm, his mother’s taste in curly-haired men, and thinks he’s destined to be the next matriarch of his Mexican Israeli Jewish American family. When his first relationship crumbles, dashing his boyhood dreams, he quickly finds that the fairy tale courtships of his beloved matriarchs seem nowhere to be found.
