How does our queer community share a space? Almost half a century after queer lives broke into mainstream consciousness at Stonewall, our community is larger and more diverse than ever. Our histories overlap as much as they diverge, our struggles have changed but also remain the same. Our need to come together, to share and celebrate our histories, victories, losses, loves, and lived daily experience has never been greater.
In an exciting partnership between Buddies, The 519, and the Senior Pride Network, The Youth / Elders Project brings together young and old to create a space where identities, personal histories and queer perspectives get turned into performance. From sex to activism, pronouns to technology, queer vocabulary to queer history to queer futures, this is theatre at its most relevant: part social experiment, part staged conversation, part performance art.
For five nights only, this intergenerational ensemble brings a year’s worth of sharing, learning, and exploration to the table in a radical mix of contemporary performance and community building.
