K.E. SILVA
A Simple Distance
Wednesday, October 18 at 7 PM

K.E. Silva's debut documents the myriad ways in which a prickly, unforgiving family can nevertheless ensnare would-be-escapees, miring them in repression and dysfunction on a fictional Caribbean island, Baobique. A Simple Distance is a provocative debut that masterfully fuses issues of culture, race, sexuality, and family.
