A solo multi-genre confession of a romance-a-holic
"I'm a romance-a-holic. I've been this way for years. I'm quitting though - cold turkey". An embarrassing and exposing look at Sunny's internal world of fantasies, run-ins with the polyamory police, green monsters, and how internalised capitalism and relationship scripts play out in the narratives of (not-so-?) radical communities. "If I added up all the hours I've spent fantasizing, I could have single-handedly dismantled the white supremacist able-ist binary-obsessed hetero-patriarchy."
This show uses theatre, multimedia, comedy & movement to explore love, those empty caverns, and the manufacturing of emotions.
