Dressed for Space is an absurdist comedy that explores themes of fantasy and freedom. The narrative delves into the acceptance of one’s self, the comfort of being in one’s own skin, and the aspiration to feel connected to the shared space around us. The rooftop is a perfect vantage point to transcend our known experiences, feelings, and dreams, envisioning a future yet to be discussed. Dressed for Space is a story for the aliens secretly living among us, and thus a story for all of us.
