“all light on earth comes from somewhere else” seeks to reclaim lost queer futures from the wake of scrubbed archives, burnt evidence, fabricated ephemera, and rot. Immerse yourself in six intertwining storylines told through a series of letters, parcels, and transmissions that ask the question; would you recognize your own loneliness if you found it in someone else?
"all light on earth comes from somewhere else" is comprised of six storylines that will be directly mailed to audience members. After purchasing your ticket you will receive a confirmation email which will lead you to a Google Form where you provide your mailing address. You must fill out this form in order to receive the piece! Individual storylines are each mailed out at their own pace so while you will receive all of them, they may arrive at different rates.

What Will Happen:
Over the course of six weeks (well, roughly six weeks, depending on the speed of the mail) you will receive correspondence from six intertwining storylines. Some will lead you through internet blogs and video narratives. Some will come to you as lost library files, intercepted messages, and little love notes. Get lost. Get messy. This is a library, not a museum, so please: touch everything as much as you like.
Note: In an effort to make the piece as accessible as possible each piece of correspondence will be accompanied by a QR code which the audience member may scan to take them to our website where the text can be read by text-to-speech software.
