Real Talk with Rocco Meo

Location

WHAT IS REAL TALK AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?
Real Talk explores multiple modalities by combining digital scenes and theatrical sketches. The episodic nature of the show creates continued interest from audiences to come back and see what is new. Real Talk creates an intimate setting that encourages viewers to be present in the moment, and grow together as an audience. Physical art/media is also a special part of this show. We always want the audience to walk away from the experience with a part of the show with them! The themes focus on fitting in, connection, embarrassment, and the blurred line between performance and sincerity. It places an emphasis on merging human truths and lies that drive relationships apart and back together again. Real Talk always comes from a place of deep passion and pursues the need to get one’s struggles out through art.
