Queer Utopia: Act I Cruising Project

25 minutes VR with 6DOF

Inspired by real-life stories of queer men above the age of 60, this immersive and interactive narrative invites the audience to bear witness to the protagonist’s most intimate and contradictory memories before they fade away. Through a captivating performative reconstruction of memory, utilizing the language of theater, “Queer Utopia: Act I Cruising” traverses intricate spaces inhabited by ephemeral bodies formed of particles. It weaves together an intergenerational essay on the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights while delving into the past to reimagine a utopian vision of the future.
