National Tour: Open Space (Portland, OR) OCT 23 - 25 | 2026
About the show:
Inspired by his upbringing in a conservative rural/suburban town, Do You See Me? follows a young man navigating identity, belonging, and self-worth while learning to survive behind layers of camouflage. Masking both his queerness and learning disability to avoid rejection, the protagonist ultimately confronts his fear of being seen and discovers what it means to stand openly as himself. For choreographer Franco Nieto, who often felt “othered” as a queer, dyslexic artist, dance became both refuge and survival. That emotional landscape lives at the heart of the work.
Created in close collaboration with Open Space Company Artists, Resident Choreographer Noelle Kayser, costume designer Joshua Myrie, and vocalist and musician Onry, Do You See Me? is rooted in vulnerability, trust, and shared humanity. While deeply grounded in queer experience, the work speaks to something universal: the risk of discovering who you are and the courage it takes to stop hiding.
