"It’s over-the-top, but there’s something harsher underneath it about race and gender that gives the loaded comedy some actual bite...Ginader’s clearly a versatile performer, shifting between kooky characters and different tones."
- Angie Rico

What came first, the psychological crime thriller... or the crime itself? While Hollywood congratulates itself on “diversity”, the juiciest, darkest, most complex roles still seem reserved for white men — because they’re based on the world’s most infamous people: American serial killers. There’s only one way to change that...

Blending original electronic music, dynamic movement and striking video design, this satirical solo show, produced by VACT and ITSAZOO Productions, is a provocative takedown of the model minority myth and an unhinged interrogation of who gets to be seen, centered, and mythologized.
