The Disco at the End of the World — Nathan Tavares

A sweeping, psychedelic romance of two men caught in a looping world of artificial realities, edited memories, secretive cabals and conspiracies to push humanity to the next step in its evolution. For fans of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Ubik, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Evangelion.In 1977—a world where America launched its space program shortly after WWII—Mitch Ward is a grunt in the US Spaceguard. Stationed in a backwater base on the Moon, his only friends are Gloria, who performs “Lady Stardust” for fellow soldiers, and Flynn. Following a visit from an unseen, terrifying but also maybe euphoric being,they find themselves quickly discharged from the army, and sent back to earth. Moving to Los Angeles tochase their dreams, Mitch and Gloria scrape by, finding their joy at the discos in the city. But when Flynn crashes back into their lives, claiming to be the host for a traveler and emissary of a utopian civilization, he comes with an offer for Mitch – to join him, ad claim power so that he, and his friends across the queer community, never have to live in the shadows or face oppression again. As the forces of prejudice and oppression seek to push their community back into hiding, keeping them out of sight and oppressed, it’s down to this community of disco-loving outcasts to stand up for what is beautiful and right.
