Behind the panels

Welcome to the afterhours.

Some people find their people by accident. Rue found theirs through a series of creative emergencies.

CREATED BY RUE/RUINGOTH-PUNK COMEDY
A story led by Rue

Make stuff. Make mistakes. Make it together.

Rue This Day follows Rue, a programmer and reluctant host, through the late nights and questionable plans of their creative circle.

Mika, Jun, Liora, Ari, Vale, Sera, and the people around them bring different talents, loyalties, and ways of making trouble. Their stories make room for dry jokes, queer joy, and the friendships that hold when a plan falls apart.

“Some days you survive. Some days you Rue.”
