Second Class Queer is a bold, witty and moving autobiographical solo performance by Kumar Muniandy, exploring queer identity, diaspora, racial injustice and the search for belonging. Krishna, a queer Indian-Malaysian man, attends a gay speed-dating event in Berlin where, through five-minute conversations, his regret and grief at never coming out to his late mother emerge. The piece uses raw storytelling, multimedia projection and poetic honesty to weave together personal memories, political insight and humour, challenging dominant narratives and celebrating marginalised voices.
Why see this show?
A rare solo show that fuses autobiography, multimedia projection and poetic honesty to explore queerness, diaspora and grief with genuine wit. If you have ever felt like an outsider — because of skin, sexuality, culture or class — this 60-minute piece speaks directly to you.
