Summary
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.
