If hate is your love language\, don’t miss out.

SUMMARY:Solo Plays - FULL CONTACT and X#*! YOU VERY MUCH\, MOM!
DESCRIPTION:Leviathan Lab’s WinterFest proudly presents a double feature of two new\, compelling solo performances and a staged reading of a new dark comedy: The National New Play Network NYC Rolling World Premiere of FULL CONTACT; a developmental workshop of X#*! YOU VERY MUCH\, MOM; and a one-night staged reading of BLOOD/SUCKER.  \nIn FULL CONTACT\, after a week alone in his apartment\, Filipino American Ariel Estrada* unravels under the weight of his memories: a violent cult\, a lost faith\, and the echo of his late father’s demands. Caught between guilt and survival\, he fights to take the first step toward healing before his mind pulls him under. Presented by Leviathan Lab and Mixed Asian Media.  \n In X#*! YOU VERY MUCH\, MOM\, theatre meets TED Talk meets dark family secrets. With whimsy\, sardonic humor\, and heart\, Đavid Lee Huỳnh* shares how the effects of French colonialism shaped Vietnam\, rippled out\, and made it so #%@#ing hard for his mom to say “I love you.” Presented by Second Generation Productions in association with Leviathan Lab. \nWriter/actors Ariel Estrada and Đavid Lee Huỳnh will each perform their respective stories in TheaterLab’s intimate white box space—an evening of two\, hour-long solo works that challenge what it means to be Asian American now. \nCommunity partner tickets ($20) are available for 12/5 Vietnamese community night performance using the code: nguyennguyensituation

SUMMARY:Impossible Desires: New Directions in Queer Diaspora Studies
DESCRIPTION:The publication of Gayatri Gopinath’s Impossible Desires: Queer Diasporas and South Asian Public Cultures (Duke University Press) in 2005 heralded a new moment in transnational scholarship in gender and sexuality studies. The book theorized queer and feminist cultural practices in the context of South Asian diasporic migration\, and served as a precursor to subsequent scholarship in queer diaspora studies that has radically reshaped the fields of queer and feminist studies in the past two decades. \nWe mark the twentieth anniversary of Impossible Desires by showcasing the work of a new generation of queer diaspora scholars whose work spans South Asia\, the SWANA region\, South Africa\, and the Caribbean. Scholars Kareem Khubchandani\, Suzanne Persard\, Medjuline Shomali\, and Jordache Ellapen will reflect on their own groundbreaking work in light of Gopinath’s book; and artists Al-An deSouza\, Chitra Ganesh\, Shahzia Sikander\, and Felipe Baeza – all of whom have engaged in long-standing dialogues with Gopinath over the years—will reflect on the artist-critic relationship. The evening will conclude with a DJ set by Arshia Fatima Haq\, artist and founder of Discostan.
