This is a show about telling his family about doing a show about showing his evolving gender. Confused? Welcome! Gender adventurer Sunny Drake takes up the challenge to articulate his gender journey, to arrive at this moment in time: gender = carnivalesque magician. A hide-and-seek peekaboo at invisibility, gender policing, class and white privilege and getting comfortable with ambiguity. Other-wise includes an ongoing performative documentation of the terrifying process of coming out to Sunny’s family.
