    My goodness! The layers of language and emotion that transcend the split stage are staggering. Gripping from the opening page, there isn't a word out of place. As Gonzalez explores what it's like to be a queer Latinx individual coming-of-age, they create an immersive love letter to family, to joy, and to the journies made within the self to reach acceptance. Really great work!

    An experimental play that explores love and liminal spaces through comic books and the skeleton of a car. The characters are rendered as complex through powerful visual metaphors, and their journeys toward catharsis are equal parts heartwrenching and triumphant.
