Brief Histories

Is queer happiness possible?

Brief Histories explores this question through 16 sketches hinged on pop cultural detritus from songhits to songbirds, early obsessions such as Polly Pockets, the longstanding influence of media representation, and the unrealized dream of safe spaces and security for the LGBTQIA+ community. At once humorous and heartbreaking, Brief Histories is a tour of the joys, hardships, and possibilities of growing up a gay boy in the Philippines.
