“Queer [Re]Public is a bold, joyful declaration of everything we believe theatre can be,” Des Bennett, TTO’s Queer [Re] Public programs manager, said in a statement. “From aerial dance storytelling to Afro-Indigenous music-infused readings, interactive workshops, and powerful artist conversations, this festival is about more than performance. It’s about amplifying the work of queer and trans BIPOC artists in all their intersectional brilliance. We’re honoring the artistry that’s transforming our stages, launching a civic platform rooted in liberation, and acknowledging Greater Boston’s LGBTQ+ arts sector as a national force for innovation. This is theatre redefined—and a call to action.”
