Queer vampires and Slavic folklore converge in Tomboy (Chłopczyca), a kinetic dance-theatre performance exploring gender, memory and cultural belonging. This new work, by Jessie Award-nominated playwright Anais Mateusz West, is a trans coming-of-age story with a dark, supernatural twist. After learning their teen best friend was attacked by a boy from their Polish immigrant community, a non-binary historian remembers their shared adolescence. Were his actions his own, or was he cursed by a monstrous and mythic inheritance?
