What happens when a queer Indian Malaysian man steps into a live gay speed-dating event in Berlin? Second Class Queer, a solo play by Kumar Muniandy, takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through five hilariously awkward yet deeply moving encounters.

Krishna, the charming yet vulnerable protagonist, navigates race, sexuality, and cultural heritage, journeying from Kuala Lumpur to the vibrant streets of Berlin. Through grief, displacement, and the longing to belong, Krishna’s story explores the complexities of love and acceptance in a world filled with challenges.

This isn’t just a coming-out story—it’s a bold and funny exploration of caste, colourism, xenophobia, and queer dating politics. With razor-sharp wit and raw storytelling, Muniandy illuminates the universal struggles of marginalised queers, especially those from post-colonial societies.

More than a play, it’s a tribute to the queer community, a reflection on identity, and a call to amplify voices too often left unheard.
