SYNOPSIS
Glimmer attempts to address the urgent matters and seemingly irreconcilable coexisting realities at the core of queer existence through multiple frames and lenses. Taking full advantage of an all-queer cast of performers, with whom the piece was developed organically through a series of discussions and workshops, this work intertwines the autobiographical and the fictitious in order to shape a kaleidoscopic vision of queer identity in dialogue with this strange and tragic timeline we find ourselves in. The result is manifold: a celebration of queer joy, an embracing of our silliest selves, a dissection of our neuroses, a quest for (self-)love, and a prayer to the cosmos.
The inextricable rapport between light and darkness which the word itself evokes, Glimmer ultimately attempts to capture both the sorrow and euphoria of contemporary queer existence in order to help us cry, contemplate, and cackle to our hearts’ content.
