LLERMO! or My Big Fat Mexican Apotheosis, with Sincerest Gratitude to Lorca

Llermo wants to taste everything, to be bigger, to want more and nobody else seems to want that for Llermo. A bird-boned boyfriend, a diet-obsessed mother, a mushroom-fueled GROWLr hook-up, a demonic Sandra-Lee of Food Network fame, and the ghosts of dieters past converge in a queer bacchanalia that hopes all our queer wants might be unbearably fat and that all our fat wants might become wildly queer! A riff on Lorca’s YERMA, LLERMO! holds steadfast to a fat, queer, Mexican world where desire must be the fuel to make a new world.
