About the piece:
Public Displays of (self) Affection or PD(s)A is a radically real, arched-eyebrow wry, self-consciously ridiculous protest piece that demands not to be taken seriously. Queering the traditionally cis-het act of "PDA", PD(s)A reimagines performative relationship showboating into an open affirmation of self-love. This series of public action events, led by the LGBTQIA+ megaphone-armed PD(s)A dancers, turns New York City into an exhibitionist's soapbox for both company and audience to grandstand upon. Join in as the company firmly takes over the Lincoln Center campus with artistic displays of queerness and self-love, because, as Queen RuPaul says, "If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?"
