“Profoundly anti-carceral, abundantly queer, and weird as f*ck, Audition will lead you to spine-tingling places if you are willing to navigate its corridors.” —Casey Lucas, bad apple
The spaceship Audition is hurtling through the cosmos towards the event horizon. Squashed immobile into its largest room are three giants: Alba, Stanley, and Drew. If they talk, the spaceship keeps moving; if they are silent, they resume growing.
So they talk, and as they do, Alba, Stanley, and Drew recover their shared memory of what has been done to their former selves—experiences of imprisonment, violence, and misrecognition, of disempowerment and underprivilege.
Part science fiction, part social realism, Audition asks what happens when systems of power decide someone takes up too much room, and about how we live with each other’s cruelties, imagine new forms of justice, and transcend the bodies and selves we are given.
