Piece Description: Click: DRAMA; Click: PLAY; Click: GRIEF; Click: CLOWN. Inspired by themes pulled from “Hansel & Gretel”, this work navigates the sea of stories we tell each other about ourselves through a queer lens. Through heightened text, intricate character work, and the athletic conquering and division of space, three performers dive into a physical exploration of how stories are disseminated, shared, edited, censored, voiced, and left untold within the histories of our bodies. What causes us to leave home? What delight and terror do we discover in the forest of other people? And what bread crumbs lead us back?
