Playwright, performer, theater and dance critic, and co-founder of Curate This, Julius Ferraro is a multi-tasker par excellence. Julius wrote a new play, “Parrot Talk” that will be performed at DaVinci Art Alliance at the end of March, and in a second version, at the end of April. (Tickets are $10-$15 – get them here.) The experimental play is a Dada-esque, character-driven piece, in which words and the whole system of language is the subtext. What do words mean anyway? “Parrot Talk” does involve a parrot, and a woman in distress who needs to get to the grocery store and a third character that embodies a kind of wild “id” critter. The show will take place over two weekends, a month apart, where the second staging may (or may not) look and feel very different than the first. The interview with Julius took place Feb. 17 and it’s 31-minutes long.
