Two Plant Gaysians
multi-disciplinary performanceMeet Ghost and John, a romantic and wholesome pair of gay Asians, living a beautiful life in London while nurturing hundreds of houseplants to fill a certain "hole."
Is this a migration story? A gay love story? An ecology story?
Ghost and John weave a captivating narrative from the ephemera of home, dancing nimbly with their green babies across the colder voids of displacement and struggle, following the urge of all life to thrive and flourish.
REVIEWS
‘Two Plant Gaysians beguiles its audience with story of love, identity and botany set in different countries on opposite sides of the globe.’
- Fa Mengkarak Hussain at BEATS
‘There really is no lack of creativity throughout the piece, and the work of Ghost as the production’s creative technologist really shines through… The floral visuals, skyline projections and thoughtful choreography are undeniably beautiful.’
- Andrew Houghton, The Reviews Hub - London
‘A gentle yet unsettling piece. It presents migrant experience in a way I've never seen before, with a unique and distinctive aesthetic.’
- Kim Pearce, Theatre Director
‘Two Plant Gaysians is a beautiful, meditative love story that rejects the pressures of conformity and assimilation. Instead it provides an alternate perspective: a syncopation with the timings of nature and a queer relationship that dares to be serene. A performance that counteracts the icky-ness of fast city living.’
- Max Percy, co-artistic Director at Papergang Theatre
