Not A Review: You Should Go See Love You Reckless
About Not A Review: I enjoy cultural experiences and sometimes I write about them. I like what I like and though I consider my thoughts to be solid critique, I would never front like I’m some damn Siskel & Ebert.
When people say there’s nothing to do in Indianapolis, I feel things. I feel a little sad, like… “Oh man, they must not know people.” Often, I feel very annoyed, like… “Wow… have they bothered to look around before making such a silly statement?” Anywhoo… I find that there is tons to do here.
The tricky part about navigating the culture scene in Indy is that you have to know where to look to find the shit you’re into (Shameless Self Promotion: Look at my IG Stories. I share event fliers all the time.) and you have to be a master scheduler because what happens a lot is that, so many people will have things all at the same time. For example, this past Saturday night alone, there was an Afro-futurist book release/fashion show in honor of Maurice Broadus, a burlesque extravaganza featuring Renee King and Ankh Productions latest offering, Love You Reckless, showed at Storefront Theatre. I wish I could have cloned myself to be at all three. Ultimately, I chose Love You Reckless because I bought tickets as soon as I heard about it. I was locked in from jump.
I have minimal words to describe my experience at Love You Reckless as I am still processing what the fuck I saw. This is high praise. I am so curious about the process used to create such a thing.
I can say this: Love You Reckless was a time-traveling, dimension-hopping BDSM-lite jaunt through the treacherous terrain that is romantic devotion. It was funky, bordering the absurd. Jamaal McCray (writer/director/actor) and Chandra Lynch (actor) took us on a wild theatrical trip. I want to see everything these two dream up. We need more opportunities to explore and push the boundaries. I appreciate Jamaal and Chandra for exploring new terrain.
Love You Reckless is showing at the Storefront Theatre Fri-Sun until April 17th. Click here to learn more and purchase tickets.
