Can bugs feel the crushing weight of loneliness?
Do you think it's possible to be born in the wrong exoskeleton?
Will you hold my sexy, squirming, snivelling body one last time before I decompose?


Meet Roachee: a lonely, genderfluid cockroach at the end of the world. Drag bug, immigrant comedienne, cabaret emcee, trans bouffon, jazz poet, prophet in exile. Across three stages of life—egg, nymph, and adult—Roachee journeys from the crack in a Mumbai apartment floor into the sewers of post-apocalyptic Manhattan, in search of her/his/their/its divine purpose.

Roachee Babee! is a one-roach operetta about the grief from loving too hard, and finding the dance in solitude.
