he his own mythical beast
receives a Bessie for Outstanding Production!!
The citation reads
“For demolishing the idea of a neutral body in a revelatory excavation of his own mythological identity as a dancer, artist, man, person. For an inexhaustible ecstatic, sweaty swirl of voice and movement addressing race, gender, and the overlapping reality of many selves.”
