Performances will begin August 2 for Lili / Darwin, a new solo play written and performed by Darwin Del Fabro. Get a first look at the new show in the gallery below. The 12-performance limited run continues through August 23 at Off-Broadway's The Tank, directed by Tank Artistic Director Meghann Finn.

The work explores the intertwining journeys of trans writer-performer-producer Del Fabro and Lili Elbe, a trans artist who previously served as the inspiration behind the 2015 film The Danish Girl. Press notes describe the piece as "genre-defying," featuring voice, projection, and powerful language.

“I’ve always written to survive, to see myself clearly," said Del Fabro in an earlier statement. “Lili / Darwin is the most personal work I’ve ever brought to the stage. It’s not just a play—it’s a reintroduction to myself, and an homage to the woman who helped me find the courage to begin.”

Tickets are available at LiliDarwin.com.
