All of it comes from the mind and lived experience of Orren Fen, Bug Ballet’s 18-year-old creator and director. She knows how to find joy in a crushing world.
“Bugs are something we sweep from our windowsills, we push to the corner, we squoosh,” she said. “Our cast is mostly trans people and people with queer identities. As queer people, we’re used to being pushed aside.”
