A solo Spoken Word drag performance celebrating queer resistance. It brings the urban legend of the 'Mothman' to life, using vibrant surrealist costuming to explore themes of queer alienation, metamorphosis, cross-border solidarity and homoerotic hot-hub encounters.This show invites you to face the pest in your closet. Is it hungry for light? More creature than human? Join this intimate, frenzied call to celebrate the unknowable within us all.Eat the Storms poetry podcast S05E12
