INTERNATIONAL LOVER • Aerial Dance Show

International Lover is Troy Lingelbach’s debut solo show. This confessional theater piece is a collection of journal entries brought to life through aerial dance and performance art. With a meta contemplation of the performer’s life on and off stage, the artist exposes the conflict of their mind, body, and spirit on their path towards self-acceptance. Understanding this conflict, they are empowered to embrace their queer identity and become the International Lover. Content Warning: Strong language and sexual content. Themes of body dysmorphia, gender disphoria, and suicide.

Troy Lingelbach is a staple of the NYC nightlife scene, regularly performing at House of Yes, Company XIV, The Box, The Stranger, and Red Pavillion. Their work teaching and performing has taken them to London, Berlin, Lucerne, Múrcia, Puerto Escondido, and across the United States. Informed by their background in musical theatre, philosophy, dance, and gymnastics, this venture into long form work seeks to boldly share the parts of themself unseen by audiences familiar with their work in cabaret. @troydaboy1

The show will run approximately 2 hours, including 2 intermissions.

Many thanks to House of Yes and to Hupstate Circus. This project was first developed during the Hupstate Circus Artist Residency in April 2024, and debuted at the Hupstate Circus Festival in August 2024.
