	\n\nThe semi-autobiographical story of 'S'\, a young queer game designer o
	f color who\ncreates virtual spaces that reflect their own introspective j
	ourney.\n\nPlum Road Tea Dream evolves the videogame and its association t
	o violence and\nimperialism to reappropriate its form and center its exper
	ience on connection\,\nintrospection\, and healing\, using the medium as a
	 way to connect the individual\nand the societal.\n\n❗Plum Road Tea Dream 
	is also a performance piece\, a mix of theater\, game\, and\ninteractive r
	itual. That version is making its world premiere in Amsterdam on\nThu 12 F

	who we are within it.\n\n\nBENCHES\n[https://thijsoid.itch.io/benches?utm_
