GUMIHO

Kam Grey, a Korean adoptee and former reality TV star in her late twenties, has just been broken up with by her longtime girlfriend. She quickly re-immerses herself in the alcohol- and lust-fueled world of her local queer scene, where she uses and is used by women. Through a series of hookups, Kam is forced to face some monstrous realizations about herself, her past, and the deep-seated fears that keep her from connection and happiness.

 

GUMIHO’s ensemble of Asian queer women, nonbinary, trans characters reveal a queer community in desperate need of interpersonal connection, but consistently sabotaged by the characters’ own struggles with cultural trauma, defensiveness, loneliness, and fear of rejection - monsters of the human psyche that manifest in elegantly terrifying ways onstage.
