tony wrestles a stranger is a surreal family reunion that is like a hot dog eating contest meets an MFA thesis project. Through physical challenges like 15 minutes of burpees or eating a pack of hotdogs, tony explores and interrogates their various axis’ of identity in a performance that is visceral and tender. All crafted so that tony and their dad, who hopefully shows up, can finally have some father-kid moments they have missed out on. This is a very deliberate display of daddy issues.
