Fairytales, lectures, dance, and song are infused with wild whimsy as creator-performers Keshia Cheesman and Bianca Miranda explore their friendship as two fat women on a journey to self-acceptance and fat liberation. They confront fatphobia, diet culture, and the intersection of fatness with race in this playfully political pop-art piece. Come hungry for a new perspective and leave fuller than you came!

Created by Keshia Cheesman & Bianca Miranda
