Brooklyn-based composer, playwright, and vocalist Truth Future Bachman deftly interweaves three of the most compelling cultural threads of our moment: musical theater, gender fluidity, and superhero/sci-fi parables. The third act in a series of queer and trans superhero musicals called Shapeshifters (following Luna & the Starbodies and Skyward: An Endling Elegy), SECOND SIGHT is a prophecy of love that persists, resists, and survives the end of the world. Xander is a doctor facing an impossible choice. To escape the iron fist of the ‘Dissociate or Die’ policy, he flees to the outskirts of society, where musicians, poets, and baristas create an unlikely coalition. Here, bodies entwine and erotic acts of rebellion erupt in defiance. At the heart of it all is Sike, an oracle whose visions conjure unseen futures. But when Sike’s dreams awaken Xander’s dormant healing powers, the two find their revolution—and their desires—at the center of a war zone.
