Mongolian-American boys Kevin & Ari hide kisses behind cherry trees and seek themselves in Queer Asian stories from 2 BCE to 1925 about Emperor Ai, Princess Sun-Bin Bong, and Author Nobuko Yoshiya. “Forbidden” love has always had enemies but withstand the centuries and still live on today, even when Dad thinks boys don’t cry or when prom night goes wrong. Travel through time with us for Jonon Gansukh’s ANCIENT HISTORY as closeted lovers discover how to be brave, passionate, afraid, and proud. Directed by Michi Zaya, presented at The Tank’s PRIDEFEST June 21st and 25th.
