CGiii Comment

Decoding DarkMatter is a short documentary film about two Asian transgender poetry performance artists: Alok Vaid-Menon and Janani Balasubramanian. It documents their journey from Stanford University, where they began performing together as DarkMatter, to their first large theater production, It Gets Bitter, at Joe’s Pub in New York City. DarkMatter’s performances are a mixture of art, theater, and poetry. Both go by they/them pronouns, and through their spoken word poetry, act as art activists, discussing the obstacles and struggles trans people of color are facing worldwide.
