About the Show

A Latine man explores cultural expectations, mental health, and eating disorders.

Embarking on a transformative quest, a Latine man delves into the factors that pushed him to the edge, grappling with the intricacies of his culture, societal pressures of machismo, and the detrimental neglect of mental well-being, all while questioning the repercussions of conforming to societal expectations. In a powerful metaphorical act, he confronts his eating disorders and mental health struggles by literally eating the world.

Please note this show contains references to suicide, depression, bulimia, and anorexia.
