"Do you know who the first person to go to space was? Barbie!

In 1965, Miss Astronaut Barbie went galactic four years before man landed on the moon. This galactic adventure lit a spark in my childhood heart, turning me into a space enthusiast."

Float is an autobiographical performance that explores how one copes with grief after losing a pregnancy as a young, queer person. The show uses imagery of the solar system through AV and interweaves audio clips from historic space missions, both successful and not, as a metaphor for the turbulent journey that pregnancy can feel like and the intense feelings of failure and isolation that often accompany pregnancy loss.

Join Indra on their new mission to reconnect with their humanity and rekindle their love for being human after spending so much time floating in a cold, white space suit.
