Rainbow Exodus

Rainbow Exodus

Rainbow Exodus is a solo performance created and performed by Karol Matuszak and directed by DE Co-Artistic Director Travis Coe. Rainbow Exodus premiered at our Farm Center in 2022, at a moment when “LGBT-free zones” were appearing across municipalities and regions of Poland—public declarations that LGBTQ+ people were unwelcome. From this charged landscape emerges one man’s journey to break free from the confines of his conservative upbringing, setting out from his homeland in search of a place where he can live openly and wholly, without hiding.

Come See Me in the Good Light

Come See Me in the Good Light

Come See Me in the Good Light is a community held celebration of Andrea Gibson—their poems, their courage, and the way their words have carried so many of us through the darkest and brightest seasons of our lives. This documentary gathers us in shared breath and witness, honoring Andrea’s legacy of queer tenderness, political truth-telling, and radical love. It’s more than a screening; it’s a collective offering, a moment to stand together in the good light they taught us to seek, make, and protect.
