I Will Marry You For a Visa. It's a Joke, but I'm serious
Abstract
Lipstick. Paperwork. A veil beside a rejected visa.
Games are played. Proof is demanded. The bride insists she is really, really an artist.
Through dance, spoken word, and satirical ceremony, this knock-off wedding spirals into catharsis — exposing the absurd theater of immigration scrutiny and the very real desire to belong.
It’s a joke.
But it’s not.
