MEDUSA is an absurdist, sensuous performance where six trans and queer performers inhabit the jellyfish life cycle. Through drifting bodies, immersive media, and original music, scientific allegory dissolves into humor, desire, and vulnerability—offering a tender, political reflection on sexuality, survival, and shared animal life.
