I've been thinking again about the question my dramaturgy professor asked me about the yuri VN during my MFA:
"Why this story in this way?"
Why was the first thing I made with character acting tech a story about Jewish lesbians finding home also ghosts and mecha?
Mostly it's because I find a lot of commonality between the way theater, Judaism, and queerness approach storytelling. Everything is worth playing with and digging into and not taking at pure face value.
