William Douglas Street is bored with his life. Working for his father is getting to him, his wife wants more money, and he’s had enough. His solution is to re-invent himself. He becomes a chameleon, taking on whatever role suits the situation. From reporter to doctor to lawyer, he impersonates anyone he feels a need to be and he can earn money being.
Balanced with CHAMELEON STREET‘s central theme of identity, the feature screening will be accompanied by a curated spoken word segment. This portion will consist of a verbal collage of four performers, each bringing a distinct voice and perspective that is radical in its own right. Through their pieces, the artists will explore identity as something shaped within a capitalist climate that often commodifies and simplifies our existence. Together, their pieces will create an experience inviting the audience to engage with identity not as a fixed concept, but as something contested and continuously redefined.
