Buddies in Bad Times Theatre Presents an interdisciplinary solo by Kama La Mackerel

In Mauritian Kreol, “zom-fam” means “man-woman” or “transgender.” This intimate solo brings to the stage Kama La Mackerel’s award-winning eponymous poetry collection. Through dance, storytelling, spoken word, and ritual, the piece weaves together ancestral voices, femme tongues, broken colonial languages, and a tender queer subjectivity, all of which grapple with the legacy of plantation servitude.

Tickets available at a sliding scale: $10 / $25 / $40 / $70
