Dear Queer Dancer

The children in a religious family clash with their parents as they prepare for the wake of their brother, Mitchel. Teenage Mason desperately tries to reach his lost identical twin through spiritual means. Precocious preteen Molly meticulously organizes the event expecting everything to go exactly as planned. Megan, their older sister, returns home after a long absence, no longer interested in repressing the truth. Their Baptist grandmother and parents attempt to maintain normalcy when an unexpected stranger, Jameson, arrives -- forcing the family to face secrets and lies around Mitchel's death.

In this spin-off of Femme Rage, Femme Release follows Esperanza as she descends into a surreal, horror-tinged Release Realm where reality fractures into ritual, ancestral force, and embodied visions. Haunted by a shifting mask, a looping inner child, and a council of Spirit Guides who observe from the edge of firelight, she is pulled through escalating states of fear, rage, and bodily unraveling. In a world where memory moves through the body like a living force, Esperanza is forced into a confrontation with what has been buried, inherited, and made flesh.

A rally cry to all QTBIPOC Femmes, across the gender spectrum, to unleash their rage about living, surviving, and thriving within a cishetero-capitalist-white supremacist-patriarchy.
