A griot’s inheritance. A nun’s unraveling. A twink’s reckoning.

Across cultures and histories, rites of passage mark life’s turning points: birth, death, coming of age, initiation, embodiment, exile, return. For trans people, these rites are often erased, denied, invented, and reimagined. These exciting new works invite us to explore the moments and thresholds that shape us and our lineages, whether personal, cultural, spiritual, or historical. 

From a Black transmasculine griot reclaiming ancestral memory, to a transfeminine nun confronting faith and isolation during the bubonic plague, to a gay Korean trans man facing aging and “twink death,” this electric trilogy of one-acts spans centuries and continents to explore lineage, ritual, and transformation.
