Hidden in Plain Sight

StoryFusion Cabaret! presents Hidden in Plain Sight: Uncovering Queerness in Story

Lynn Torrie and Eden Nameri break the silence around the LGBTQ world by unearthing its presence in traditional tales. You may know these stories, but you have never heard them like this!

A traditional European folk tale of a young girl's coming of age becomes the story of her coming out. The Biblical tales of Naomi and Ruth and of David and Jonathan portray a devotion deeper than friendship. A story of the Scottish sea tells of family alienation. An Albanian tale and a Greek myth illustrate that gender is not set in stone.

Storytellers Eden Nameri and Lynn Torrie reveal how they unearthed these stories, why they are so scarce, and what makes them queer.
