A powerhouse collective of international artists ignite an electrifying collision of performance, live music, and drag spectacle in a rock opera meditation on queerness, featuring 55 original songs by Taylor Mac and Matt Ray with costumes by Machine Dazzle. Co-directed by Niegel Smith and Faye Driscoll, the production is brought to life by an international ensemble of 22 artists. Taylor Mac is a MacArthur Fellow, Ibsen Award winner, and Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Matt Ray is an Obie Award-winning composer. This co-presentation with The Huntington uses music, dance, and drag to subvert conventional narratives and celebrate queerness in all its forms.
