Juan Pablo Di Pace Returns To NYC With Two Shows At 54 Below And DUINO Film Premiere
Duino will have its New York premiere at NewFest: The 36th Annual New York LGBTQ+ Film Festival at SVA Theaters (333 West 23rd Street).
On October 4 and 5, 2024, 54 BELOW will present “Juan Pablo Di Pace: Live!” at 7:00 p.m. Juan Pablo Di Pace pays tribute to the iconic songs from Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, and the Bee Gees – plus original compositions.
In addition to his performances at 54 BELOW, one week later on October 12, Juan Pablo is making his cinematic debut as a writer-director with his tender semi-autobiographical film Duino. Executive produced by the late television legend Norman Lear and Brent Miller, and co-directed by Andrés Pepe Estrada, this endearing tale follows an Argentine filmmaker who, unable to finish editing a movie about his unrequited first love, receives an unexpected invitation to revisit his past. As he reconstructs his memories, he may even find a new ending to his story. Duino will have its New York premiere at NewFest: The 36th Annual New York LGBTQ+ Film Festival at SVA Theaters (333 West 23rd Street).
"I’m so excited to return to the legendary 54 Below, the first place I performed to a NYC audience! The room is so beautiful and the acoustics are to die for,” commented Juan Pablo Di Pace.
“I can’t wait to bring my new show where I celebrate my deep musical theatre roots and the music that makes up my life-soundtrack, just a week before DUINO, my debut film as a writer and director that I also star in, makes its New York City debut at New York’s NewFest Film Festival on October 12. I am overjoyed to bring these two pieces of me to the city that never sleeps!,” continued Juan Pablo Di Pace.
Musical Direction by Michael Orland.
