KRIS CARRASCO
Creative & Performer
About Kris
Kris is a genderqueer, Latino-American artist hailing from the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina.
Born to immigrant parents, his first taste of the stage was seeing Jennifer Lopez star in the hit movie Selena, and through the incredible power of representation, a flame was lit.
Kris' love of storytelling stems from the belief that as artists, we are the storytellers of the human experience, and that it is our duty to record humanity (and our experiences with it) as diversely and specific as possible, with a 21st century, anti racist lens on everything.
Kris' greatest hope is that anyone that comes to a performance of theirs leaves with a greater sense of empathy for themselves, their community, and most importantly, those who've lived experience is different.
