Under St Marks Theater

The Queerly Festival 2026

The theme for this year’s festival is “Then, Now, and Always.” With this theme, we are creating a line-up of work that speaks to the ways queerness has thrived and will continue to thrive across time.

Anchored by a wandering pocket watch, "Undrunk Chai" is a surreal drama with dark humor that ruptures across three centuries. Two gender-expansive performers inhabit a kaleidoscope of characters caught between queer desire, ancestral wounds, and the fight to keep joy alive in the shadow of empire. In present-day New York, an estranged pair of friends test their capacity for repair over pie. In colonial India, a Muslim sepoy and a British lieutenant risk secret love on the brink of uprising. In Victorian London, a mother and daughter plot survival through yet another migration. Each era is warmed by a cup of chai asking to be drunk. Content Awareness: Flashing or shifting lights. Themes of colonial violence and intergenerational trauma. Mentions of sexual acts. Depiction of parental violence. — This production is a part of <a href="https://frigid.nyc/festivals/queerly/" title="https://frigid.nyc/festivals/queerly/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Queerly Festival.</a>
