OPEN
OPEN
By Crystal Skillman
A queer love story told by an amateur magician. Her energetic act attempts the impossible — to save love.
A woman called the Magician presents a myriad of tricks for our entertainment, yet her performance seems to be attempting the impossible. Is our faith in her illusions enough to rewrite the past?
The clock is ticking, the show must go on, and, as impossible as it may seem, this Magician’s act may be our last hope against a world filled with intolerance and hate.
