CONCHA
Concha is a one person semi-autobiographical play that explores the intersectionality within the queer experience.
Concha is a 21s century Queer. They’re trans. They’re Latinx. They work a job they hate, and on top of that they’ve just found out they’ve contracted chlamydia. Who gave it to them? They don’t know!
This takes them on a journey through past and current relationships, queer sex, race, and self-love, which forces them to revalue their relationship with other people and with themselves.
Follow Concha on their series of mis-adventures as they try to find their place in the world whilst exploring all of the glorious and messy things of their queer experience.

Written and performed by Carly Fernandez, directed by Manisha Sondhi, and produced by Olivia Crawford, Concha is an experience that you won’t want to miss. Concha is a semi-autobiographical solo play with a multidisciplinary approach that explores the intersectionality of the queer experience from the perspective of a Latinx non-binary person.
Concha is certainly not your typical play; with monologues, voice-overs, music, and video projections, expect to be taken on a journey that you’ll never forget, with an amazing script, stellar performance, and an interesting take on what theatre could be. Get ready to see this fantastic show take the Fringe by storm!
