There’s something precarious here, and dark, and beautiful Audrey Journal
When the sun explodes, a countdown begins. Eight minutes before all life on earth is lost.
From cockroaches to cancer, to black holes and jelly, Tell Me Before The Sun Explodes is a queer exploration of death anxiety, and how the words gay and dead are used in the same sentence more than we’d like to admit.
Following the success of This Genuine Moment in Sydney and Melbourne, Jacob Parker and Hayden Tonazzi pair up again to tackle queerness and intergenerational love, and how we’ve never come to accept the beauty in either.
