ZIN GALACTIC Spotlight: HJ Farr

We’re thrilled to continue spotlighting the creative team of Zin Galactic and the Saloon at the Edge of the Universe by Adam Szymkowicz directed by Heather Cohn! HJ Farr plays EXILI, who will surely win TUWEL’s fatherly approval and be declared his heir. HJ’s recent Flux credits include readings of The Elephant Play and Again. The questions are inspired by Adam’s joyful play—make sure to RSVP for the in-NYC 2/16 reading at 7:00pm ET!

RSVP

You pull up a stool at the Saloon at the Edge of the Universe. What’s your drink order?

An espresso martini. Gotta stay alert even while having a good time. Wink.

Share a song that puts you in a fascism-fighting mood.

“Queer as in Fuck You” by Dog Park Dissidents.

If you were a robot capable of making only a single sound, what would that sound be?

KIP! (Very high pitched, like a chirp) (My spouse, whose name is Kip, and I sometimes chirp “KIP” at each other in bookstores when we are trying to find each other.)

What book would you recommend if you were a resistance librarian?

Restoring the Kinship Worldview by Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez, PhD.
