returned, iridescent — phillygaycalendar.com

Elio and Luna are lovers bound by the stars, a sun and moon destined to meet every dusk and every dawn, rise and fall, come together and drift apart, across a lifetime. With each reunion a loss, and with each departure a gain. Trans bodies shift and age, both weathered and bolstered by time, only realized through radical transformation, yet still able see the truths in one another. Elio and Luna will follow each other through the stars, and back again. Rose Farrell's returned, iridescent is a new play and trans love story about leaving and returning, transformation, and the perpetual act of becoming. A poetic sensory experience, journey through a life long romance, and a reminder that there is still more time. TBD has been workshopping the piece with Rose since Clippings 2025 and cannot wait to share this world premier.DetailsPresented by: Theatre by DevelopmentGenres: TheaterVenue: The Proscenium at The Drake - 302 S.
