The Chronicles of Fabulous Freddie: That Love

@ Steppenwolf Theatre

1650 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614

Opening Friday, February 16th, at 8PM

On view through Saturday, February 17th

Fabulous Freddie invites you to experience his embodied home-made-whole as he takes the audience into an autobiographical journey chronicling his life as a young Black Gay man coming into self-claimed greatness through his three super hero variant identities. This multipractice and multimedia performance enlists dance, video projection, sonic soundscape narratives and wearable art to weave a story of healing, heroism and humor into a fabulous epic tale of alchemizing surviving into thriving and shining.

ABOUT FABULOUS FREDDIE

Frederick “Fabulous Freddie ” Leroy is a Voguer/Bboy in the community. He has been dancing for 12+ years, starting with breaking in high school. Throughout his career, Freddie has learned to grow and adapt with who he is as a dancemaker, experimenting with femininity and masculinity in the artist’s own lexicon of movement.

Freddie’s dance journey is a self-exploration and healing practice in claiming himself whole through embodying his masculine and feminine energies as a Black Gay artist. By choosing to express himself through both Breaking and Vogue Femme movement foundations, he has opened a new space for an important conversation to happen through his body.
