Synopsis:
At 17, Luna is coming to terms with the harsh reality of what it means to be a young, black, queer woman in America. It’s hard to find the words to claim her identity and to claim her right to love and be loved. Waning uses dance, discovery, and dark truths to show that the words on the pages of history books are nothing compared to weight of reality.

CONTENT WARNING: This play contains strong themes, including descriptive language about abortion and depictions of violence towards women in the pre-Civil Rights era of the USA.
