My Grandpa Doesn't Follow Me On Instagram
by Yoz Mensch
They drove from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands: one grandparent, one grandchild, one unspoken truth. Multi award-winning Aussie storyteller Yoz Mensch returns with her (spoiler) autobiographical one-woman (spoiler) show: a vivid pilgrimage through familial grief to queer joy (promise). Drawn from hundreds of Instagram stories posted during the trip, Yoz revisits what they shared with their grandpa, and secrets they didn't, unravelling what it means to hide yourself from people you love.
