One Drop of Love is a
multimedia one-woman show written and performed by the show’s writer/performer
Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni and is produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. It
incorporates film, photographs, and animation to examine how “race” has been
constructed in the United States and how it can influence our most intimate
relationships. The show will take you on a journey from the 1700s to the
present spanning locations through the world as 16 characters facilitate
reconciliation between a daughter and her father. Immediately following each
performance, Fanshen facilitates a Q&A segment.
“Amazing performance, staging,
autobiography, artistry, and an amazing meditation on race and examination of
America,” stated Ben Affleck, show producer and 2013 Academy Award winning
actor. “I am in awe.” For more information on One Drop of Love,
