Can bugs feel the crushing weight of loneliness? Is it possible to be born in the wrong exoskeleton? Will you hold my sexy, squirming, sniveling body one last time before I decompose?

Meet Roachee: a lonely, genderfluid cockroach at the end of the world. Drag bug, immigrant comedienne, cabaret emcee, bouffon babe, gutter poet, prophet in exile.

From the crack of a Mumbai apartment floor to the bowels of a dying whale, Roachee journeys across seas, speakeasies, and the sewers of apocalyptic New York in search of their divine, dirty purpose. Roachee Babee! is a one-roach operetta about loving too hard, surviving too long, and dancing into solitude’s abyss.

This is a staged reading of a solo show-in-progress written and performed by Adri Tavares.”
