Queer Futures Past (I am Ghost and So Are You) is a multimedia installation and performance project examining personal and inherited queer erasure. Rae Red playfully address their secret, ignored, and partially imagined queer lineage through animation, movement and song. Using a playful adaptation of Spiritualist ideas of the 1840s as the visual landscape of the piece, Queer Futures Past crafts a non-linear narrative experience combining personal, familial, and cultural histories, summoning spirits, and examining notions of harm and healing.

Variety Show the Musical Play consisting of short plays, performance art, song and humorousness was created by Theresa Columbus, Izaak Collins, Cliff Doby, Ruby Fulton, Myles Hamilton, Caitlin Weaver, and Jacob Zabawa. The play creates the effect of a surreal vaudevillian variety show, even though several narrative and formal through-lines connect the pieces. Acts were created and developed by members of the cast and woven together with abstracted dialogues and song-n-dance numbers. Different theatrical forms bump up against and expand each other, splashing into the poetry of everyday conversation.
