NO EASTER SUNDAY FOR QUEERS follows the (hate) (crime) (murder) love story of Napo and Mimi. The lovers, through the (spirit) (subconscious), Easter Sunday sermon, return on the anniversary of their (wedding) death (crucifixion) to make the (church) (pastor) (perpetrator) Father (reconcile) reckon with the present and the past and a (sacrifice) crucifixion he must account for. The alter is a cross and the subconscious a courtroom where the dead seek justice for a (an act) sin committed by their perpetrators. The (antagonist) protagonists cannot (any more) tell the past from the present and scripture from the truth. Every year, (through the visitations) on Easter Sunday the (pastor and his) church is made to remember.
