CHIRP

Set in a studio apartment in South L.A., CHIRP follows a Black American T4T couple simply trying to celebrate their three-year anniversary on a terrible, no good, very bad day. When Remi surprises Naseego with a life-altering anniversary gift, what should be romantic instead detonates years of accumulated ideological differences. Loosely based on a true love, this intimate, humorous, & politically urgent two-hander explores what it means to sustain Black trans love when America won't stop sounding the alarm.
