About

After 15 years of ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), artist Dan Fishback has never felt more alienated. Debilitated by his illness, abandoned by a society that no longer protects high-risk people from COVID, and sidelined by a political environment that reviles the Jewish left, Dan can see only one path forward: rock music. But since he is no longer well enough to perform, he sends a band into a theater as his proxy and projects his spirit into the body of a hapless lead singer, suddenly possessed by all of Dan's gnarliest feelings. Staged for two nights only at Joe’s Pub, "Dan Fishback is Alive, Unwell and Living in His Apartment" is a rock concert for people who can't go to rock concerts, a rally for people who can't go to rallies, and a punk rock fantasy for the artist himself, who might not even be in the room.
