Comic Dubac keeps it real at Curious

By John Wenzel

Robert Dubac styles himself as a defender of truth and intellectual freedom, a lantern in the darkness of our culture's myopic mores and media manipulation.

"I'm just trying to appeal to the nature of the human beast to entertain a certain point of view," said Dubac, at right, whose one-man comedy show "Male Intellect: The 2nd Coming" continues through Aug. 25 at the Curious Theatre.

While it's true Dubac makes us confront our mindless assumptions, he is also ultimately an entertainer. His show "The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?" is well known to Denverites, having been performed here hundreds of times over the past decade. The show has also been seen thousands of times around the globe, taking on a life of its own in foreign cultures.

The one-man act shreds through paradoxes of gender identity, featuring characters that communicate the different slivers of Dubac's personality, and the larger culture that birthed it.

We spoke to Dubac, a Telluride resident, last week about his new material, the freedom and limits of the stage, and the story arc of his "Male Intellect" trilogy.
