Roadkill Bambi

Portia and Alison are driving home from a wedding. They hit a deer. Portia dies.
Portia and Alison are driving home from a wedding. They hit a deer. Portia dies. The deer gives a philosophy lecture.
Portia and Alison are – wait what? They hit a deer. Portia dies.
Forced to relive this accident over and over, Portia must confront uncomfortable truths about her relationship while she tries to escape the surreal time loop. A thoroughly queer dirge for the imagined future, Roadkill Bambi asks how we make decisions while caught in the headlights of disaster.

Bone Play

An ancient ritual. Visions born of smoke and ash. A pair of refugees, fleeing a recent class war and seeking a utopian commune known only as “The Hilltop”. A two-hour death-fantasia.

As our structures die and decompose around us, we are left with their skeletal remains. Who owns the bones? What do we do with them?
