Queer Heartache is an award-winning solo show adapted from Kit’s poetry collection published by Transgenre Press in 2016.
The show explores his identity as transgender, queer, Asian American from Hawaii, while asking what queer hearts and families are made of and interrogating the forces that are constantly working to break them apart.
