SHYA is a one-person show featuring Fred Cavair Robinson in a series of short plays in the neo-futurist aesthetic, featuring true stories and original songs about growing up Black, Queer, and Weird in the “wild.”
Fred Cavair Robinson writes, performs, and creates visual experiences that stick to audiences like the meat to bones. Sometimes an emotional slut, boldly abstract and dramatic, summoning primordial contemporary worlds, decadent feelings, and lusty prose. But, never above a fart joke. As a Disabled, Queer, BIPOC, their work seeks to involve, engage, perplex, question, and inspire much like that of Marlon Riggs or Essex Hemphill. The nature, condition, and compassion of the Human Animal is what Fred seeks to unveil through their writings, performances, and visual art. Their favorite themes and subjects surround connections and relationships- those we share, our ancestors, nature, astrology, and the mysticism deep within ourselves. Take a field of grass and make it a pop star.
