Event content

The Spotlight Series begins with the Florida premiere of “Destroying David”, an immersive and deeply affecting work set in Florence, where a guide’s exploration of Michelangelo’s David becomes something far more personal–an examination of art, humanity, and the ephemeral nature of beauty, and what it means to truly see.

“Breathtaking! More than just a play, “Destroying David” is a beautiful ritual that demands to be seen. With striking… emotional power… it shows us that in our darkest, most hopeless moments, art—theatre, sculpture, and the shared breath of a live audience—is exactly what ‘shows us the light.’
Don’t miss this. It is a shimmering example of why we need the theatre now more than ever.” – Stage & Cinema

“A triumph! Enthralling … funny and engaging… a tour-de-force…. If you enjoy thought-provoking, intelligently written, wonderfully directed and amazingly acted theatre, do not allow yourself to miss Destroying David.” – Gay Desert Guide
