Acclaimed playwright/songwriter/performer Dan Fishback releases his new EP today. Ill I: Laughing with Lizards is out now. Watch the official hand-animated video for “Laughing with Lizards” [directed and drawn by Dan Fishback; edited by Sean Puglisi].
Dan Fishback on the project: “Ill I: Laughing with Lizards is the first of three short albums, documenting feelings and impressions from my life as a chronically ill, queer Jew in an age of rising fascism. Ill (the word “ill” with a capital “i”) speaks to dysfunctional imbalances, not just within my own body, but within the body politic, and this first collection focuses on that political disorder. The subtitular track, Laughing with Lizards, explores the grief of witnessing injustice and the solace of knowing that ours is not the first generation to fight against overwhelming political cruelty.”
