Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself (2020)

Quartile rating: 7.5/10 · 1 rating

Storyteller and Conceptual Magician Derek DelGaudio attempts to understand the illusory nature of identity and answer the deceptively simple question 'Who am I?'

The Quartile Take

Derek DelGaudio's one-man show is a genuinely singular work — part magic, part confession, part philosophical meditation on identity that defies easy categorization. The storytelling is profound and emotionally devastating, building to an ending that has left audiences weeping and speechless. DelGaudio's performance is magnetic and wholly unique. Cinematography is competent but constrained by the stage format, serving the material without elevating it cinematically. Novelty is exceptionally high — there is simply nothing else quite like this piece in documentary or performance film.
