Theater, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, Burlesque, Comedy, Play, Drama - Queerly 2024
Calico
After coming out as queer, Peach (she/they) doesn’t
speak to their mother Chyou (she/her) for several years. Still, the
future looks bright as Peach has built up a reputation as a burlesque
artist, and is surrounded by a glamorous community that loves Peach
for who they are. Suddenly Chyou gets into a car accident and develops
retrograde amnesia, Chyou seems free of her trauma and prejudices
which allows the two to bond closer than ever before. As Peach cares
for her now amnesiac mother, Peach and her closest friends, Naveena
(she/her) and Sunshine (she/her), begin to wonder if finding closure
with their families is possible. Sunshine begins to renew hope about
reconciling with her own estranged family, while Naveena struggles to
find romantic love to spite and replace the parental love she never
seemed to receive. They all begin to wonder if dance could be the path
to healing not only themselves, but salvaging their given familial
relationships too?
