Born out of the ABQ Funny Fiesta and a previous engagement with Teatro Paraguas, Big Feelings is a glitter glam extravaganza featuring Taylor Swift level costume changes, original pop punk tunes (maybe even a Selena cover), Taco Bell as religion and, of course, award winning poetry centering the queer femme Mexicana experience. Big Feelings is based on the indie bestselling book of the same name and tells stories for those who know the feeling of giving yourself to lovers and sometimes even a country that does not want you back. Live band featuring Evan Galpert and Ryan Merrill.
