THIS BUG IS GAY

​You disgust me. You’re delightful. Let's be bugs together.
​
How do you translate your body? Do you secretly know you’re the least favorite child? Why do some words taste so good? How horny was Franz Kafka? What joy can we find by releasing the need to be understood? And how many blueberries can you fit in your mouth at once? All this and more at THIS BUG IS GAY, an hour-long cabaret performed in German, starring Gregor Samsa from Kakfa’s The Metamorphosis reimagined as a queer clown.
