In the small southwest town of Loving, New Mexico, Dell has a mission: to tell the people of the far-flung future that there is a dangerous store of nuclear waste hidden below the ground. But how do you craft a message so universal that any culture could understand?
When Dell and her neighbor, Mara, are paired together to work on a school assignment, Mara is brought into the ambitions that Dell has for the desert project. As the two grow closer, circumstances and priorities in each of their lives begin to shift, forcing them to choose what they carry forward into their futures and what they leave behind. How do two young queer people navigate finding themselves? What marks do we leave on the world around us?

Long ago, women knew the true pleasure and power of the pussy. They played with it, they seduced with it, and they weaponized it.
"Dentata" is a joyful, riotous, feral exploration of feminine ferocity, told through the poetry of witches, a misunderstood Medusa, games with the audience, and of course, a giant operatic vagina puppet.
