About our Show:
Abel is 29. Officially older than his older brother David, was before his unexpected passing. Having recently found his brother's personal journal and letters, Abel attempts to put the pieces together of why his brother, David, seemingly hated him, what their relationship was, and what it could have been.
"My Brother's Keeper," is a deeply emotional exploration of the generational effects of sitting in the darkness of our identities, hidden from the light, as we lead with hate, not love, & shame and not grace. Abel and David are brothers who are bound by a secret kept from each other, incapacitated by self hatred, and a deep desire to be understood, stuck in the middle of two worlds: being Queer and surviving in a conservative, catholic, Latino, community.
Please be advised that this Production contains Coarse Strong Language, Brief Sexual Content, Smoke & Strobe Effects, and Intense Thematic Material depicting Grief, Loss, and Trauma, that may be triggering to viewers with sensitivities.
