Queer and Now: Sync or Swim is a devised performance that combines dance, lip sync and drag to explore and break down patriarchal, capitalistic structures within our society. Set one year before the end of the world as we know it, the waters are rising, our borders are shifting, and a group of mythical deities adapted from traditional texts are brought together to build a new, queered world that offers us multiple possibilities as we venture into the future.
