“Derek DelGaudio’s ‘In & Of Itself'” is finally hitting the big screen. The Hulu special will run at the IFC Center in New York from May 28 to June 3, marking the first time audiences can see the film version of the stage show in an actual theater.
“In & Of Itself” was originally slated to premiere in person at SXSW last year. But then the pandemic hit, and although the film was indeed first seen in 2020 through SXSW, it was screened virtually. It won SXSW’s Adam Yauch Hörnblowér Award, before premiering on Hulu this past January.
The theatrical run is part of Hulu’s For Your Consideration campaign for “In & Of Itself,” which was directed by Frank Oz.
“This is the very thing we’ve wanted for a year and a month,” Oz said of finally being able to see “In & Of Itself” in a theater.

“In & Of Itself” was filmed live in an intimate New York City theater. The show, exploring themes of identity and illusion, is intentionally described in a vague nature. Oz maintains that audiences need to watch the film to understand.
“One of the things I love about ‘In & Of Itself’ is that it can’t be explained. It has to be seen. And now it can be — on Hulu,” Oz said. “And I can’t wait to hear people’s reaction to it.”
In a review for IndieWire, critic Eric Kohn called the 90-minute feature a mix of “stage trickery and alluring autobiographical asides.” He wrote, “DelGaudio transforms the usual shock-and-awe routine into a powerful meditation on...
