QAF VI invites audiences to explore the intersections of queer identity, humor, and imagination with a two-week festival of short plays. Featuring the talents of 25 queer and trans writers, directors, and performers of color, the festival will light up the Bindlestiff Studio stage with a collection of sharp, provocative, and hilarious short plays that tackle everything from love and polyamory to political power and magical realism.This year's festival lineup includes a kaleidoscopic array of themes and genres, giving a voice to underrepresented experiences and offering up fresh perspectives on the queer and trans experience. Through satirical comedies like "The Adventures of Bisexual Sperm" to mystical tales like Bitopia, where a mystic promises freedom from a past-life curse, QAF VI promises audiences a ride through laughter, reflection, and queer fantasy.
