In a world dictated by strict conformity, the road to true self-discovery can be nearly impossible to navigate. Fueled by pain, rejection, and confusion, people hide behind self-destructive masks in pursuit of an ever-lasting idea of who one should be, and never realize who one truly is. With a mind that works so drastically different from the societal norm, Devin Sanclemente has decided to finall
y try on the mask himself in this 45 minute physical theater performance guided by a continuous, immersive soundscore… but at what cost? Devin casts a spell on his audience, guiding you to his otherworldly point of view; his wonderland lens before you even forget you’re watching a show. A style some may view as abstract and nonsensical, but is ultimately inclusive of its audience and welcomes them into a mind that's understandably different and shares the human need of understanding. The soundscore that guides this physical theater performance samples many recognizable pop cultural sound ideas, song samples and ambience that help usher in audience investment into the Autistic POC point of view that is, today, largely unrecognizable or simply unseen. Show Your Flames encourages all viewers to check any "logic" at the door to sit back, relax, and to watch and listen to this unique experience with their heart. A narrative that's funny, heartwrenching, thrilling, then inspiring.
