"Ze": queer as fuck!
"Ze" comes to LA for the first time!
"Ze" (an oldschool gender-neutral pronoun) is a one-person genderqueer, kinky, femmesexual, polyminded, gay-divorcee PRIDE parade. Michelle/Ryan (now Ren) rips the bandage away from zir startling American Puritan upbringing through a complex and confusing coming out process. Along the way ze explores a beloved community that at times is just as ridiculous and pigeon-holed as the one ze's left. As Michelle, then Ryan, Ren both uses and parodies the labels meant to help an individual embrace their truth in a modern world desperate for definition.
Ze confronts stereotypes both within and without in a celebration that exposes the complex tension between being authentic to oneself and belonging to one's community.
