INCELS AND OTHER MYTHS

November 9-12, 2023

NYC directorial debut at the New York Theater Festival. First self-produced work, crowdfunded to $6000 through an online donation campaign.

Incels and Other Myths takes us on a mother and son's epic journey into the complex digital landscape of gender, power, and mythology. When Elaine's son Avery informs her that his online video game guild consists of “incels,” men who desire sexual relationships though are unable to find them, Elaine decides she must save Avery from spiraling deep into a notoriously wrathful and misogynistic community. Through their descent into fraught online territory, Avery and Elaine discover unexpected and intoxicating new realities that shape how they see their own worlds.
