DESCRIPTION OF PIECE:

Love hurts. And rejection hurts even worse. But to be rejected by all fifty-seven members of New England’s largest polycule at the same time? And by email? Ouchie, ouchie, Dr Fauci!

Join Dublin Brian on an emotional odyssey as he absorbs the shock of rejection and tries to beg, bribe and berate his way back into your life. Expect raisins, snuggies, nasal erotica, broad national stereotypes about Brian’s home country, and emotional psychoeducation in clear breach of international copyright law. Expect guest appearances from Mister Rogers and Esther Perel. Expect a vulgar, pugnacious performance with a tender heart that might just win you back.

About the artist

Brian Kearney is a writer, visual artist and performer from Ireland, based in Providence, Rhode Island. Across media, his work casts a tender eye on the messiness of human growth, in pieces with long titles that are clearly compensating for something. He is a graduate of Brown University’s MFA in Digital and Cross-disciplinary Literary Arts and a member of the Providence-based clown troupe, The Booboisie. He is also a licensed clinical social worker. His first book, a collection of illustrated poems called, “When we are done with this planet we will live in malls in the sky”, is coming soon from Shy Priest Press.
