A lovely narrative on queer culture and history of being oneself executed beautifully through physical theatre and cabaret-esque costumes does pull through although at times may feel underwhelming.
Through a series of monologues, voice clippings and orders from a megaphone, the cast are showing their performative self and then their true self, although the difference isn’t too clear which could be the objective that one could never truly hide oneself. Which is sweet if not a little unrealistic.
Acting wise, the performers did lack projection at the beginning but warmed up for what was their final run which was met with thunderous and well deserved applause but issues with performance technique and I believe some light technical problems leaves a little wanting. The spark for conversation is interesting but feels forced at the end. An ode to breaking the norms by moving with the space and people around us.
