THEATRE JUNCTION + TINY BEAR JAWS

Conducted live before your eyes, The Worst Thing I Could Be Is a spontaneous investigation of the intersection between happiness, queerness, capitalism, oppression and “domestic bliss.” Through text, confessions, youtube, movement, plagerism, dance, home videos, song, and improvised projections, Belyea, Doré, and Morrison delve headfirst into their own discomfort to unearth a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them in a culture obsessed with positive thinking.
