About the Show:
Visions of another couple who lived within an abandoned attic’s walls intertwine with Chris and Muna’s secrets, until Fayrouz and Yasir find old life reflected in the attic’s new inhabitants. Histories collide, spirits take hold, and the attic forms its own space in time somewhere between what was and what is in this examination of sex, shame, and the cost of being okay.
Seeking:
YASIR - He/Him. Cis. SWANASA. 30s - 50s.
Yasir is the adoptive son to a wealthy white family. Yasir is his given name by his parents, but his adoptive parents changed it to “William”. He’s know Fayrouz since they were little kids, and have been close as long as they remember. Part of what brought the two of them together, is the fact that Fayrouz is one of the few faces in his world that looks like him. Fayrouz is a trans woman, and as she begins to transition in their youth, Yasir begins to develop romantic feelings for her. They begin a decades long relationship, but due to social pressures, Yasir keeps it hidden and restricted to the attic.
