Description

Roleplay, costume and fanfiction form an intimate and fundamental spark within a new queer relationship. Archie and Stephen work in male-centric environments. They both feel boxed in by stereotypes and crave genuine human connection. Meeting at a costume party, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, finding freedom in disguise and cosplay. They begin to explore how heteronormativity influences the dynamic in their new relationship. A show filled with laughter, masks, and many many hats. But is it all fun and games? Which parts of their identities are performative, and which are their truth?
