MAIN STAGE THEATRE
F*CKING TRANS WOMEN
F*CKING THEATRE CO.
F*cking Trans Women is a groundbreaking one-woman show that challenges societal taboos and explores the intersection of desire, sexuality, and identity. With raw honesty and empowering narratives, Zoë Comeau invites audiences into a world where the sexual experiences of transgender women are celebrated and normalized.
Performed in front of a 20x10ft projection screen, Zoë immerses herself in her stories with fun, upbeat, and atmospheric animations created by cartoonist/animator Tori Ryan. Paired with an original ethereal soundscape composed by Dario Lozano-Thornton and Malcolm Chiasson.
F*cking Trans Women is a compelling and necessary performance, breaking down barriers and paving the way for inclusive conversations about pleasure, intimacy, and the complexities of gender.
