Springboard: Why I am an Avocado

A queer interactive comedy

Fragments of queer narratives, characters, and confessions tie together with the question we all ask: What makes me an avocado? Am I ripe? Do I come in a pair with unnecessary plastic protecting me from squeezing hands? Or am I just soft, single, left in the corner, destined to be part of the never-ending food waste?

There might be an answer. There probably won’t be.

Let Keith and Delilah hold your hand through the HCT Programme - a new method in exploring self-love (and loving them). Join Callum in his corner as he advises, guides, and inspires you to be your best self. Then, help Juliet find her one true love. 

Elephant in the Closet asks you to lend a hand to these queer avocados. 

They’ll definitely need it.
