It's not always easy to be here and queer. In 2022 the world continues to feel less and less accessible to queer people with each passing day. In the last five years, we have seen some civil liberties and even the validity of existence challenged and attacked worldwide, including here in Alberta.

Low Hanging Fruits exists to breathe life into the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ folks. Queer narratives are frequently centred around our struggles, on the oppressive forces that we have and continue to face.

FAGS IN SPACE is such an important play because it is grounded in relationship, in connection. Like its title, this show could be viewed as hyper-sexualized, salacious slut pop if you reduce the sum of its parts to a slur, but if you move past the label and take it in for what really is at its core - a story of two humans choosing to navigate the vast space that is their lives together and finding home in someone else- you might just find something more universal in this little play about life, loss & love.
