By Gayathiri Kamalakanthan
A Tamil teenager is preparing for their period party – a traditional ritual meant to mark womanhood. But Krish isn’t a girl. And this ‘celebration’ feels more like the opening act of a never-ending performance. As expectations mount, Krish decides to take control. With help from their best friend Brenavee and a growing chosen family, Krish flips the script to throw the degendered party of their dreams.
Set in 2010, in the aftermath of the Tamil genocide, Gayathiri Kamalakanthan's play Period Parrrty is at once a story of survival and a trans Tamil rom-com for the ages.
