One bite changes everything.

BYTE exposes the female queer body as horror’s favorite monster. It
invites you to watch drag thing COL-OSSAL dissect a familiar
trope at the intersection of glamor and gore within artefacts of film
media. Part performance, part live investigation asking: how has
horror always known what to be afraid of?

Duration: 50 mins.

Suitable for 18+

Content Notes: Contains horror imagery and themes, onscreen blood and gore, stage blood and gore, onscreen sexual content and nudity, prosthetic
nudity, strong language, flashing lights, sudden loud noises, and
sustained loud audio.
