Truth;

Header image: Del Lagrace Volcano.
  1. There is no objective truth;
  2. But there is truth-telling;
  3. And speaking truth to power;
  4. And shared truths;
  5. And multiple truths;
  6. If there are no limits, audiences could simply read whatever they liked into any message;

  16. And sometimes we have to use the language of our colonizers, our teachers, our parents in order to find one another;

  18. Plays are not proclamations; you don't always have to present something you agree with; 
  19. But this is a space where trans people can proclaim, can testify, can confess, can be;
