COUNTER-CANON: Desire against the grain

This is a Counter-Canon night about desire that doesn't fit neatly into approved categories. Vuong writes a love poem to himself using someone else's words. Lorde argues that the erotic is not a luxury but a source of knowledge. Wilde's Happy Prince gives away everything he has for love that the city considers useless. Each text asks what happens when desire runs against the expectations of the world it lives in.
