Queer Utopia: Act I Cruising

Bear witness to an ageing queer man’s recollections as he reconstructs his life from memories that are slowly fading away.

A retired playwright invites the user into his living room, where he regales them with nostalgic and intimate stories of his youth. Inspired by real-life accounts from queer elders, this profoundly affecting exercise in biographical testimony utilises the language of theatre as it traverses spaces inhabited by ephemeral bodies represented as particles. Queer Utopia: Act I Cruising is a powerful intergenerational essay on the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights that delves into the past to conjure a renewed vision of the future.
