our story

GĒR (pronounced “gear”), founded by Eliza Loran and Scout Nankin, is a queer movement based collective. GĒR premiered their first work, Problem Dog, in the Spring of 2024 as a part of the second annual Show N’ Tell festival at the Garage Theater in Long Beach, CA. GĒR believes in deconstructing the conventions of performance and cultivating community in the process. Through surrealist performance and installation, their work kisses discomfort with satire and addresses the bizarre, unseen, imperfect, and paradoxical nature of the human condition.
