MILLI

Fusing physicality and genre into the sacred rituals of corn, this work challenges the binaries and silences that still shape queer identity.

Late at night, the city starts lying. In the wake of something violent, something enters this person’s life and doesn’t leave quietly. It takes over his body, his thinking, his sense of safety. What looks like love starts behaving more like risk, exposure, dependency, damage… or is it?

Part neo-noir fever dream, part cabaret ritual, this close-range solo follows what happens when the first experience of love isn’t gentle when it collides with identity, desire, survival, and the need to be seen.
