Throughout his life, Jaco uncovers increasing parallels between himself and Elvis. Elvis served as Jaco’s muse for a musical career.
When time fails to heal, it inflicts wounds, creating an incessant cycle of destruction.
When Jaco’s transgressions evoke overwhelming shame, he confides in his partner and confidant, Elvis. With humour, song and narrative we experience Jaco’s journey
Is there absolute forgiveness, even for Jaco? Does an afterlife exist in which we reunite with our loved ones? Do the answers reside in love?
This production is jam-packed with Elvis hits such as like “Love Me Tender,” ” Can’t help falling in Love” , “Fever” and “American Trilogy,” alongside original works by Schwartz himself.
