Fresh from its sold-out premiere in Seattle, this psychosexual queer feminist horror comedy explores despair, agency and women’s erotic relationship with The Void. Leah's life is crushing her: work, friendships and her long-term boyfriend pile responsibilities on with no end in sight. When Leah is approached by a manifestation of The Void in the form of an alluring woman, she must decide what she’s willing to risk to reclaim her agency. Is she ready to look her own desires right in the mouth? Audiences rave: 'Beautifully sharp, deeply sexy, fantastically unsettling', 'Great sense of existential dread!'
