    Talia is half-Greek and bisexual. But her Greek and queer sides have been forced to stay hidden from each other.


    Her Greek grandad doesn’t know that she’s bi and keeping these two parts of herself compartmentalized has been taking a toll. So Talia comes up with a plan: to unite her two halves by dressing up as a Greek man on stage in full drag.


    We follow Talia as she choreographs her first ever drag king performance, complete with costume reveals and lessons in homoerotic Greek history, as an attempt to connect more deeply with her cultural heritage and with herself.


    Featuring Talia Augustidis.


    Original Music by David Drury.

    Story 1: When Mehran Mansoori was a kid, he would run home after school each day to be with the homing pigeons that his father kept in the backyard. He would hold them gently in his hands, feeling the softness of their feathers and warmth of their little bodies. When they flew up into the sky, he would spend hours watching them swoop and dive. Until one day, everything changed.


    Story 2: On July 29th, 1969, just after midnight, Hiroshi Yagi was transporting rice up on Mount Naeba when he heard a strange howl. According to Yagi, it couldn’t have been anything but a wolf. But nobody believed him. Because wolves in Japan do not exist. They’d all gone extinct over a hundred years earlier. Still, Yagi never doubted what he’d heard that night and he would spend the next fifty years trying to prove that the lost Japanese wolf is still out there. And then one rainy day in October, he comes face to face with a mysterious dog-like creature.

    Story 1: For the past few months, Chris and his partner Beth have been crying. A lot. What’s triggering the waterworks? Reading Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” to their toddler. It gets Chris and Beth weepy every... single... time. Eavesdropping on home recordings, we join Chris and Beth on their absurdist quest to get through this kids’ book without crying.


    Story 2: Six years ago, Boen spent time in a psychiatric ward while in the midst of a mental health crisis. His shoes were removed—no shoelaces to hang himself with—and he was given a pair of grippy socks “so that I don’t slip and hit my head on the linoleum, which I suppose is another way to kill myself if I really, really wanted to.” Later that year, he meets Grace, who has spent time in a psych ward, too, and they bond over those sticky socks. Now, as Grace experiences a new wave of panic attacks, Boen reflects on life in mental health limbo and the experience of being on both sides of the psych ward door.


    Featuring Chris Attaway and Boen Wang.
