Wayan is a young gay Hindu man who lives on the island of Bali in Indonesia. Wayan searches for a way to reconcile who he is with what his family and community expect of him. Mixing traditional forms of storytelling including puppetry mask and dance with modern devices such as digital media the play nimbly explores the struggle that each of us faces in establishing our identity and living in a way that is true to ourselves. From the central story of Wayan's journey the play expands to tell true stories of LGBTQ struggles and triumphs from around the world. Each story fits into the play's overall narrative arc which is built around three key “rites” of passage in life – childhood adolescence and adulthood.
