“Step in to your legacy”
Set in Lowell, this joyful journey follows Soma, a queer Cambodian American teenager, finding her voice and stepping into her legacy. When Soma posts a video performing her own poetry about the struggles she’s facing including her father’s deportation, it quickly goes viral. Now, Lowell High School’s spoken word contest approaches, and Soma must decide if she’s brave enough to step up to the mic. Told with humor, heart-forward characters, and culminating in the biggest Khmer cultural event of the season, Kween explores all the ways we author our path home.
