How can we provide for the unhoused LGBTQ+ community?
The Life is a Drag Theater is a transition space and a place of safety that is developed as a vertical extension of the streets and stacked vignettes of the city. This mini ecosystem will carry a diversity of functions, connections and relationships; the shelter is a theater, a place of storytelling. Through performance, the LGBTQ+ will be able to express their stories activating their political and spatial agencies.

The suspended volumes in each floor create the in-between. They initiate interactions that foster live performances of the mundane and form individuality through their invention of new spaces.
